A Place For Hope: Chapter 6

In Chapter 6, Dr. Edgar Staren, Senior Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer, begins by describing the CTCA integrative model of care. He describes how a multidisciplinary team of clinicians meets together several times a week to discuss patient care. "Getting that team together provides opportunities for therapies that otherwise would not have been addressed in a standard model," he says.

In addition, Carolyn Lammersfeld, National Director of Nutrition, explains how CTCA nutritionists are involved in each patient’s care from day one. Dr. Staren talks about the importance of addressing issues like malnutrition so patients can better tolerate their traditional therapies.

The segment closes with Rev. Percy McCray, Director of Pastoral Care, describing how the pastoral care team cares about patients and strives to connect with them on a human level.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
