Oncology Nursing
Specialized Cancer Care Support
Our nurses are experienced in caring for oncological clients which includes the administration of chemotherapy, post radiation care, management of side effects, and optimizing your health during treatment.
Partners in Community Nursing has developed assessment and care delivery tools based on leading best practices in Oncology Nursing. Teaching is an integral portion of support during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. We believe that a well-informed client will make the best choices for themselves, and it is our mandate to support those choices. Partners in Community Nursing's alignment with all of our community partners allows us to provide the most comprehensive care to our clients.
