“I admired the clinic staff who, even in the last stages of life treated people with love and dignity, recognizing them as people with accomplishments and loved ones, rather than just narrowly acknowledging them as a patient with cancer. My experience in fighting cancer truly is a model for how cancer treatment should be. The Great Falls Clinic treats thousands of people, but you are more than just a number, you are treated as that very special ‘One in a million’.” -Previous Patient

Survivorship Program
When patients complete their cancer treatment and resume their previous activities of life, it is not unusual for them to experience residual emotional and physical effects. Clinic Cancer Center sees the need to support patients after their active treatment is completed and to provide this help it has developed a Survivorship Program. Patients are invited to participate in this program at the time of their one-year follow up with their oncologist. Prior to this visit they are contacted by a registered nurse, the Survivorship Program coordinator, who individually discusses with them their physical and emotional concerns. Based on each patient’s individual needs, support services such as social worker, dietitian, physical therapist, or business office representative will be available at the time of their oncologist visit to assist the patient with any special needs or questions.
