At West Cancer Center, we consider it our calling – and highest obligation – to serve the community and guide them through this complex system of healthcare. With the high volume of underserved and underinsured in the Mid-South area, the need for a robust community outreach program has never been more critical. And while providing access to care is a daunting challenge, especially in the city of Memphis, it is one that we have been committed to since our doors first opened.
At West Cancer Center, we understand the burden cancer has on a patient and their families. we are committed to alleviating that barrier and providing every single patient – regardless of their ability to pay, with the highest quality and most innovative care available.
From providing patient navigators to assist with the complex healthcare system to strengthening partnerships with community-based organizations, our Community Outreach Program is not only extending care to the most impoverished and under-insured zip codes in Memphis, but also improving those outcomes. Our Community Outreach team is reaching individuals in these target demographic areas and sharing knowledge, while also providing access to our many resources and equipping them with the innovative, cutting-edge care and compassionate supportive services our community has come to know – and expect – from West Cancer Center. Through the combined efforts of community partners and our Community Outreach teams, we are leading efforts in improving cancer outcomes in all sectors of the community.
At West Cancer Center, we understand the burden cancer has on a patient and we are committed to alleviating that barrier and providing every single patient – regardless of their ability to pay, with the highest quality and most innovative care available. Our mission is clear and our commitment to the community that we’ve called home for nearly four decades is unwavering. Our goal is to eventually put ourselves out of business by not only educating the community about cancer screening, prevention and treatment, but by guiding and supporting them as they put what they’ve learned into use.
