Kelly Minnich: The nutrition department works directly with the other complementary medicine departments such as naturopathic medicine, mind-body medicine, acupuncture. We want to make sure that we are following these patients throughout their course of treatment and making sure that we talk to them the whole entire time through because something such as nausea may not develop right away in the beginning but may develop later on so we want to make sure we are trying to prevent it as much as possible.
CTCA is unlike any other cancer center that I have ever been to. As soon as I stepped foot in the building I was basically greeted so warmly by staff members and patients and caregivers. It was such a welcoming approach and I was just overwhelmed with the feeling of hope and healing here. My favorite part about working here is definitely our Mother Standard® of care. We treat every patient as we would our mother or our close family member and I’ve personally had that type of a situation in my own family so definitely I could never picture a cancer treatment center to have any other standard of care.
