Partners
The center has partnered with many groups
to provide as much support to cancer patients
as possible.
Wellness Community Valley/Ventura
The Wellness Community provides a satellite
office within the Cancer Resource Center that
includes access to information, support groups,
educational programs and wellness programs
for patients in western Ventura county. It is the
only facility of its type in the area.
American Cancer Society
Another key partner is the American Cancer
Society. With help from the American Cancer
Society, the Cancer Resource Center has put
together a comprehensive cancer information
packet with literature from the ACS and other
cancer resources. In addition, ACS provides assistance
with many of the programs, support
groups and resources available at the center.
Local Physicians
A number of local physicians have also been
instrumental in expanding the CMH Cancer
Program. “We are thrilled with the opening of
the Cancer Resource Center. It is an all-inclusive
facility that offers a wide range of assistance for
our patients,” Dr. Lynn Kong, CMH Cancer Committee
Chair and Medical Oncologist at Ventura
Hematology Oncology Medical Group, noted.
“Having information and services easily available
for our patients is critical to the treatment and
recovery process,” Dr. Thomas Fogel, Radiation
Oncologist at Cabrillo Radiation Oncology
Center, explained. “Moreover, our community
partnerships are truly an added asset to the
Cancer Resource Center.
