Cancer Care: One Sutter

Sutter's big, and while we're big, we're all connected.
So if there's a patient where I don't know what to do, or it's like this is c- complex or
this is unique, I have access to other experts within our Sutter system outside of where I
practice to help guide and collaborate together.
The people are so special here at Sutter.
My team cares about you, I guarantee it.
I feel it. I work with them every day.
And so I think that extra special touch of just feeling how much we care about you means
a lot. We also have access to state-of-the-art
research trials, equipment.
What makes me proud to be part of the team that I am on specifically is we offer
end-to-end every treatment that you could need for a patient that's
undergoing cancer treatment.
There's nothing that you would need to be referred out anywhere else.
You can get everything under one roof at Sutter.
Whether you are in Sacramento or San Francisco, the care that you get at Sutter is going to be
team-oriented, amazing.
You will be supported, and you will have a lot of people helping you through your journey.
And the experience that you receive I know will be the best care that you need for your
time and your story and your situation.
We also have tumor boards, weekly where doctors get together, and it's the pathologist,
it's the radiation oncologist, there's the research coordinator, the medical oncologist,
and we collaborate as a team as far as trying to make the best treatment
plan for that patient. I know that we're giving the very best care
for our patients. American Cancer Society is actually a big
supporter and partner with us here at Sutter Health.
We do a lot when it comes to transportation and housing and patient education as well.
There are other organizations that help to support through psychosocial help, whether
it's support groups or it can be art therapy and things that can help patients as they're
moving through.
So if we don't have the answers, we know the people to get in, them in touch with and to
connect them with. I think that's just our, our commitment to
excellence wherever you go.
Each person is, has been touched by, by cancer in this service line in some way, shape, or
form, so everybody has a personal reason for why they're passionate about your care and why
they care about what you're going through is because it's touched them or somebody they
care about in their own life.
