The Community Turns to
Martha Jefferson for Cancer Care

Modern technology and treatment modalities. From digital mammography to CT and PET imaging, from Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) to the latest National Cancer Institute (NCI) affiliated research trials, our warm and friendly community hospital rivals top cancer centers in its sophisticated treatment options.

Individualized, compassionate attention. From our experienced team of physicians, to our oncology-certified nurses, to the customer service representatives who park cars, comes the recognition of the unique perspectives of each patient and family.

The importance of communication. Our doctors talk to each other. They meet weekly at their multi-disciplinary cancer conference to review current cancer cases. With the knowledge and expertise of a whole team of specialists behind them, they can help you navigate through the maze of choices to develop an integrated plan that fits your specific needs and lifestyle.

The role of the mind and spirit in healing. You'll see that reflected in our complementary therapy offerings, like massage therapy, yoga, and support groups - all designed to help you take care of yourself and your family, while we focus on your cancer. Even while being treated, you are still a Mom or a Dad, a husband or wife, a sports enthusiast or an artist. You are not defined by your cancer.

At every point along the path, whether to share in joyful celebrations or to offer support in the face of difficult decisions, our team is there, keeping the focus on the most important team member - the patient. Maybe that is why more than 90% of the patients diagnosed at Martha Jefferson, stay here for their treatment - and another 9% who are diagnosed elsewhere, are drawn here to receive care.
