Our caring and committed medical team can successfully treat cancers, especially when they’re discovered early. We work closely with our patients so they understand what symptoms might indicate illness is present. Then we guide people to early detection to address the illness in its first stages when successful outcomes are most likely.
Advanced Technology and Compassionate Support for Cancer Prevention and Treatment
Cancer is caused when a body’s cells divide without stopping and old or damaged cells survive, forming tumors. Tumors can disrupt normal organ functioning causing illness. Recognizing possible warning signs of cancer is essential, because early detection of cancer greatly increases successful treatment.
NYC Health + Hospitals offers advice and counsel for every family member to prevent and beat cancers. For example, our medical team will advise you to stop smoking, eat healthful foods, exercise and come in regularly for check-ups. If cancer does develop, we help you detect it early so it can be treated successfully. Our experienced specialists, advanced techniques and supportive services provide affordable, compassionate cancer care for the most optimal result possible.
How We Care for You
At NYC Health + Hospitals, our goal is to find the cancer and treat it early. We promise you the very best care — even for the most challenging kinds of cancer.
Welcome to Your Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH)
Our team of medical experts are here for you — a team that includes primary care physicians, nurses and social workers. It’s called a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), a highly regarded health care model practiced across the country that’s transforming primary health care by meeting everyone’s physical and mental health care needs by stressing prevention, wellness, acute care and chronic care.
PCMH is not an office or a building but a real health care partnership with the patient and the health care team.
