| At Holy Name Medical Center, outstanding patient care means more than treating tumors; it is caring for people as if they were members of our own family. Every initiative undertaken in the Regional Cancer Center is accomplished with input from the patient and with his or her best interests in mind. We mobilize every resource available to give people with cancer the opportunity to live the life they envisioned before their diagnosis. The Regional Cancer Center offers a level of cancer care that is unsurpassed in Bergen County - and in some cases available in only a handful of places elsewhere in the world. Housing some of the most sophisticated technology, the center is staffed by an exceptional team of physicians, technicians, technologist and nurses dedicated to fighting cancer. The Regional Cancer Center features a one-stop concept that starts with adjacent parking and continues inside the center with a full range of services, all located in one convenient setting. Patients can arrange for a consultation with their medical, radiation and/or surgical oncologist; receive their radiation treatment or chemotherapy, and expedite imaging procedures, biopsies and other tests. They can meet with the center's dietitian or seek the assistance of our social worker or mental health professional for direction on psychosocial or job issues.

The advantage of local care A diagnosis of cancer influences every aspect of a person's life. Treatment issues aside, the impact on your relationships and everyday routine can be very stressful. When you receive care close to home, it is one less cause for anxiety. How will I get to my therapy appointments and who will bring me there and back? Will I need to hire a babysitter for my children? Is there going to be time for other obligations on treatment days? These are common questions and challenges for oncology patients. But when you receive care in your own community, the logistics of therapy are simplified. Getting transportation, staying on-line with the family agenda, and living as close to normal as possible, are easier and more convenient. Holy Name's Cancer Center is:
