Message from the chairperson<br />
I present this report to you with a thankful heart for the diligent<br />
efforts of our <strong>Cancer</strong> Committee, our <strong>Cancer</strong> Care Staff and our<br />
Tumor Registry Staff.<br />
We were gratified by our recognition as an accredited cancer program<br />
by the American College of Surgeons. This year we worked to<br />
expand the services to our patients and the community.<br />
Technological advances in cancer care are critical for achieving the<br />
highest rates of symptom control and cure. <strong>The</strong> new radiation therapy<br />
equipment is a step in that direction. <strong>The</strong> personal side of cancer<br />
care is no less important. <strong>The</strong> Palliative Care initiative and ongoing oncology staff training in<br />
pain control are directions toward maximizing quality of life.<br />
We are proud to be a part of the community effort towards early diagnosis, prevention, and<br />
research with the goal to decrease the impact this disease has on families. I am grateful for<br />
the opportunity to have been part of this team.<br />
We all appreciate the trust patients and their families have given to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> Care Team and we will strive to continue to earn that trust.<br />
