Regional Cancer Center offers a tradition of caring

A tradition of caring

LaVonna Wollard-Biddle, BSN, RN, OCN, Nurse Manager of Oncology Unit and Infusion Services

"When a patient learns that he must contend with cancer, the impact on families is as threatening as it is to the person who has cancer.

The lives of all those involved are instantly disrupted. Patients and families are overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty.

Help with decision-making is available from many people -- the physicians who outline the course of treatment, the nurses who administer the therapy and educate patients and families, and the many other health care professionals who serve as part of the Regional Cancer Center's multi-disciplinary team.

Advances in cancer care over the past 30 years have been dramatic.

Those advances have changed the way in which we treat many cancers. But one thing at Southeast has not changed. And that's how we care for and about our patients and families. Each is special. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with their care."

Generations Family Resource Center

As a full-service medical center with an emphasis on family-focused care, Southeast has developed the Generations Center to coordinate its many family care components and centralize in one location the vast amounts of age-specific medical information. Services available at Generations include a large print and video library; free Internet access for health-related information; wellness screenings; support group meetings; patient and family teaching; and community resources networking. The Generations Center is easily accessible from the Hospital's Lobby.
