Community Outreach

At Phoenix Cancer Center, the boundaries of our “community” reach far beyond the neighborhoods surrounding our facility in Central Phoenix. To meet this need, we offer our services not only to the physician in need of expert advice on oncology and hematology but also to the person in need of cancer information or a second opinion.

The Cancer Center’s outreach programs, many of which are done in collaboration with other institutions and community organizations, are focused on increasing access to cancer health care and improving the health status of under-served populations in Maricopa County.

We believe access to information and guidance should available to all. We make this possible by community seminars, articles, press briefings and internet communication.  We also do our part by being a major source for physician education in the community by tumor board, conferences and workshops.

We are affiliated with a mobile breast cancer-screening program for Hispanic women wherein a mobile van has been going to various areas for mammography. We provide tertiary breast care to all women with positive findings.

We are in concert with the American Cancer Society to provide free literature, wigs for cancer related hair loss, augmented bras for mastectomy patients and transportation help.
