Mountain States Health Alliance Cancer Services, Treatment & Specialists in Johnson City, TN; Kingsport, TN; and Abingdon, VA
Experience. Expertise. Loving Care.
We’re here for you. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you don't have to travel to a big city to get the most advanced cancer treatments available. We have the leading programs right here at the Regional Cancer Center.
We use powerful, carefully calibrated equipment to deliver precision doses of radiation. Recent advances in imaging have improved our ability to pinpoint tumors. And a better understanding of radiation biology has resulted in achieving more exact doses and better methods of delivery.
We treat the whole person.
While we have advanced expertise and technology, we also give equal attention to the emotional, spiritual and social aspects of your illness.
A multidisciplinary approach will be used in planning and delivering your cancer treatments. We will meet weekly on your behalf with other members of your multidisciplinary team. This team includes your other attending physicians, nurses, a social worker, a hospital chaplain, a dietitian, a physical therapist and other support personnel as necessary.
