History

  • Today, CTCA provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary path to cancer care by integrating leading-edge medical treatments with naturopathic medicine, nutrition, oncology rehabilitation, psychological counseling, spiritual support and pain management.

Hospital’s Trademark Principles

  • Mother Standard®, a standard required at CTCA that exceeds the level found at most hospitals. This is the standard of care CTCA staff would want for their own mothers. The Mother Standard® has created the “gold standard” in cancer care.
  • Patient Empowerment MedicineSM, patients and caregivers are positioned at the center of their care, voicing opinions and participating in their own treatment decisions.
  • CTCA offers exclusive technologies and treatment protocols: TomoTherapy® radiation treatment to pinpoint and more safely treat cancer, and Fractionated Dose Chemotherapy to minimize the side effects of conventional chemotherapy.
