Idea of Care

I focuses on learning about the person I’m treating, and what the positive and negative influences on their health are. This way I can incorporate that into how their cancer is managed. I believe health care is a team effort, including all the Roger Maris Cancer Center team members but with the patient being as the primary director of their care.
