LOCATIONS

Oncology

The Great Falls Clinic Cancer Center, located in Great Falls, MT, offers a wide range of oncology services dedicated to providing high-quality cancer care. Our Cancer Center offers advanced oncology diagnostic services and treatment options such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. We are committed to a multidisciplinary team approach, where specialists from various fields work together to create personalized treatment plans that meet each patient’s unique needs.

At the Great Falls Clinic Cancer Center, we recognize that cancer treatment goes beyond medical procedures. That’s why we offer support services such as nutritional counseling, pain management, and mental health support to help patients deal with the physical and emotional challenges of cancer. Our oncology specialists also emphasize the importance of follow-up care to monitor health post-treatment and ensure early detection of any recurrence.

“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

Hematology

Our patients have direct access to state-of-the-art treatments, including chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and medications to manage blood conditions. Similar to our oncology services, hematology care often involves a team of healthcare professionals who collaborate to develop individualized treatment plans for patients.

Great Falls Clinic Cancer Center offers a range of education and support services, including counseling and nutritional guidance, to assist patients in managing the effects of their blood disorders and treatments. We understand that dealing with a blood disorder can be challenging, and we are here to provide the support and guidance you need.

Chemotherapy & Infusion Services

The Great Falls Clinic Cancer Center offers chemotherapy and infusion services designed to provide comprehensive and individualized care for each patient undergoing cancer treatment. Our clinic administers various chemotherapy regimens tailored to the unique needs of each patient, using advanced protocols to ensure effective treatment while minimizing side effects. In addition to chemotherapy, we provide infusion services for other medications, including immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and supportive care treatments such as hydration and pain management.

At Great Falls Clinic, patient comfort is a top priority during treatment. Infusion therapy is conducted in a welcoming and supportive environment where patients can relax during their sessions. Our team of highly qualified and experienced chemotherapy and infusion nurses closely monitor patients during their treatment to manage side effects and address any concerns. This includes regular assessments and education to patients and families about what to expect to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and the patient’s overall health.

Patient Navigation

The Great Falls Clinic offers Patient Navigation services for individuals facing the difficult diagnosis of a life-threatening illness or where cancer is suspected.

Patient Navigators specialize in providing personalized healthcare guidance as patients go through the screening process, gain understanding about their diagnosis, make decisions about treatment, and transition from active treatment to survivorship. To ensure patients receive the best care possible, a Patient Navigator advocates on their behalf, enhancing communication with their providers, coordinating timely treatment, and providing critical support through all stages of their healthcare journey.

Patient Navigation offers:

  • Education for the patient and family regarding the diagnosis, treatment options and cancer care issues
  • Identification of potential barriers to treatment, providing resources and referrals to support services
  • Coordination of care with healthcare team members throughout the healthcare system
  • Assistance with continuity of support while moving from diagnosis through treatment to survivorship

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.
