Cancer Care Clinical Provider
The J. Michael Carroll Cancer Center has developed a new health care provider position, a Cancer Care Clinical Provider to meet the needs of our cancer community. This provider is available to consolidate and expedite all the staging, prepping and testing needed to design the appropriate path of a patient’s cancer journey, facilitate communication among the care team, to ensure the transition between care steps is seamless, and to support the patient’s survivorship needs.
