Cancer Care
Personalized oncology services in Metairie, LA
At East Jefferson General Hospital, we are proud to be recognized with the Commission on Cancer Accreditation from the American College of Surgeons. We will battle cancer with you every step of the way. To hear the words “you have cancer” is a life-changing event. We don’t believe hearing those words is the beginning of the end. We believe it’s just the beginning of the fight.
Our ability to help you fight and win your battle with cancer is unsurpassed in our region. We provide a one-of-a-kind approach for every patient, because we know our patients are one-of-a-kind. Our cancer care team goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. Perhaps nothing speaks to this more than our Cancer Care Navigator Program. One of our navigators works with you and your family, from the day you’re diagnosed with cancer through your survivorship. They are here to help you organize your treatment plan, answer your questions, and explain the entire process so you can concentrate on only one thing… getting well.
Your Cancer Care program focuses on the whole person and not just the disease. Our services include holistic therapies – like massage, aromatherapy, guided imagery, and more – and makes them part of your treatment.
