During your cancer treatment, chances are you will be working with numerous medical specialists who have focused their studies on cancer care. In addition to your primary care physician, you may be referred to oncologists, pain management specialists, anesthesiologists, nutritionists, surgeons, radiologists, and even plastic surgeons. St. John’s Health houses all of these specialists in one location, ensuring that you can receive treatment from every doctor with experience relevant to your condition.

We have regular clinics with John Ward, MD, visiting oncologist from the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Our tele-oncology program increases his availability to patients. Through a remote connection, Dr. Ward can discuss diagnosis and treatment plan options, and answer any questions a patient may have about his or her care. We also offer genetic counseling through the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Each month, the tumor board review team, made up of Dr. Ward and other doctors who are experts in different specialties, meets to review and discuss the medical conditions and treatment options of patients. This fosters communication and provides a multidisciplinary approach to the care of our patients.
In addition to the best treatments and medical technologies available, patients who have cancer need and deserve more—such as someone to provide information about nutrition, counseling, and support groups, or someone who can connect them with answers to questions regarding tests, treatment options, and payment plans. At St. John’s, the patient care coordinator and oncology social worker are here to ensure you get the best care possible when it comes to preventative screenings, abnormal or suspicious findings, a new or recurrent cancer diagnosis, survivorship care, and end-of-life decisions.
They can assist in the following ways:

Available to those currently in treatment and those who have completed treatment, our survivorship program is designed to help prevent recurrence of cancer and the onset of new cancers, as well as to coordinate follow-up care. This program is available to all survivors, regardless of where they were treated.
Most of our cancer support services are provided free of charge to current patients and their families.
St. John’s offers:
St. John’s Registered Dietitians are available to provide diagnosis-specific nutrition consultations for all new patients and their family members. With a consult, the Registered Dietitian (RD) can schedule a follow-up with the patient, assess for further education needs, and help to manage food and nutrition-related treatment side effects. RD's aid in managing weight loss or gain, impaired nutrient absorption, supplements, cancer-fighting foods, and any need for artificial nutrition (tube feeds, TPN). Registered Dietitians are available for follow-up at any point per request of the patient, doctor, or nurse.
