Fear is the natural response to cancer.
HOPE is the better one.
Some of us will experience the anguish of being diagnosed with cancer. All of us know someone who has. How Martin Memorial responds to cancer is a reason for hope.
Patients find hope in more than the skills of our physicians and the care of a comprehensive cancer care team. Our partnership with the eminent Moffitt Cancer Center gives patients access to genetic screening for early diagnosis and to clinical trials and new research protocols.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy at our Stuart and St. Lucie West facilities helps lessen their fears.
One need not understand fully how our people and partnerships and technologies create hope. What matters is knowing where you can find it. |
