Compassionate, personalized cancer treatment
At Adventist Health and Rideout, our focus is on care and wellness for your entire life, not just the moments of crisis. That’s why we emphasize prevention and early detection of cancer as well as on-going support. Our approach combines our compassionate, whole person care with the expertise, technologies, and resources of a leading health system, which is an extraordinary asset for our rural community. Learn more about how we care for you below.
Prevention and early detection
The first step in supporting you is preventing cancer or detecting it early enough for successful treatment. That’s why we offer a full range of the latest screening and imaging capabilities, including:
- Genetic testing to determine if you are at risk of cancer based on your genes or family history, so you can take measures to lower your risk, from lifestyle changes to dietary modifications.
- Advanced imaging technologies that enable us to detect even the smallest, early-stage cancers, and avoid false positives. This includes 3D mammography, MRIs, PET/CT scans, molecular imaging, radiomics, and endoscopies.
Leading expertise with advanced treatments
If you are diagnosed with cancer, you can rest assured you’re in the best hands with our expert team that is dedicated to helping you win the fight. It begins with your nurse navigator, who will coordinate your care and serve as a liaison for you and your family members throughout your care journey. It continues with our experienced oncologists and compassionate support team who will collaborate on your care and treat you with the urgent attention you deserve for the best possible outcomes.
We offer all the latest technologies, treatments, and procedures for effectively treating cancer, including minimally invasive surgery for optimal precision and faster recovery times. Depending on your diagnosis, your oncologist will walk you through your options and partner with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s specific to your needs and wishes.
Compassionate support for the whole you
One of the hallmarks of Adventist Health is that we care for not only your physical wellbeing, but also your mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. We call this whole-person care, and it’s rooted in our mission to live God’s love.
Nowhere is this approach more beneficial than in our cancer care. From diagnosis through survivorship, cancer can take a toll on your physical, emotional, and mental health. Between the feelings of vulnerability and the side effects of treatment, the journey can be challenging for even the strongest patients. That’s why everyone on your team will support the whole you and why we offer a full range of services to help you and your loved ones cope with the challenges you may face. Our support includes:
- Physical therapy to relieve side effects and regain strength
- Nutritional counseling to support your healing and stamina
- Relaxation therapies such as acupuncture and massage
- Spiritual support from chaplains
- Emotional support and counseling from social workers
- Support groups and classes with other cancer patients
- Fertility counseling and preservation
- Caregiver and family counseling
- Palliative care to help patients with advanced cancer manage symptoms and improve quality of life
Tumor board
To support you and your oncologist in making the best-informed decisions, we have a team of cancer specialists from UC Davis Health and our own hospital who meet weekly to review complex cases and weigh in on recommendations for treatment. Physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other staff also review routine cases to ensure the best possible, whole-person care.
Access to clinical trials
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new innovative cancer treatments on patients who qualify. Through our affiliation with UC Davis Health, we keep you informed about any trials that might benefit you. Your oncologist will determine if you qualify for a particular trial.
