The Wilmot Cancer Center is organized around a multidisciplinary care model, which leading cancer experts believe is the gold standard in cancer care in the 21st Century. Our model underscores our commitment to provide patients in the Rochester area with the most up-to-date information and available treatments, basing our recommendations on the best evidence. We pride ourselves in being one of the only centers in Western New York offering this team approach to care.
As members of subspecialty teams, oncology physicians and staff from all cancer and diagnostic specialties regularly collaborate in multidisciplinary disease site conferences. Information about the patient's type and stage of cancer is presented and a consensus opinion about treatment options developed. This collaborative and collective assembly of expertise from a variety of perspectives ensures that patients receive the best possible advice for treatment from the beginning of their journey.
And, since we are a part of a leading academic medical center, we are able to consult and collaborate with some of the best subspecialists in other non-cancer fields.
In addition to providing recommendations for the most up-to-date treatment, patients are screened for eligibility to participate in clinical trials. In offering this option to patients, we again demonstrate our commitment to bring the newest and most advanced treatment to patients and their families.
Our new building further undescores our commitment to serve our patients in a setting that promotes care, support, and comfort. Our patients were actively involved in the design of our center and their suggestions were taken very seriously.
We are committed to continually improving our services by learning from what our patients and families tell us. We regularly survey our patients after their visits to assess their satisfaction with our service. Our staff live by the values of the Strong Commitment: Integrity, compassion, accountability, respect, and excellence. Finally, our Patient and Family Advisory Council provides a mechanism for patient needs and feedback to reach our leadership team.
