Close-to-home care
makes a diff erence
Cancer is a life-changing diagnosis. So we’ve made it easier
to maintain routines by bringing quality cancer care to the
Wexford Health + Wellness Pavilion. Here, patients can see their
specialists and receive radiation treatments, chemotherapy, and
immunotherapy without going into the city.
They can also get other specialty services at Wexford Pavilion,
including genetic counseling, preventive care, rehabilitation,
melanoma treatment, primary care, and women’s health care.
AHN Cancer Institute collaborates with Johns Hopkins Kimmel
Cancer Center to add another layer of expertise. If you are
diagnosed with a rare or complex cancer, we off er streamlined
and guided access to clinical trials and second opinions.
Dr. Moff a gets
personal about
cancer care
Casey Moff a, DO, became a medical oncologist to
give back to a profession that helped her own family
members survive cancer.
“Today’s patients are doing much better, living longer,”
Dr. Moff a said. “But it’s still a stressful situation. If I can make
my patients feel comfortable, it’s not so scary.”
At her Wexford offi ce, Dr. Moff a always explains cancer simply,
so her patients understand what is happening. “Today we have
more options. No patient is the same, so treatment can be very
personalized and very disease-specifi c,” she said.
She encourages people to talk to their doctors about their
health. “If you are having symptoms, don’t assume it’s nothing,”
she said. “Don’t let fear get in the way of detecting problems
early, when they are easier to treat.”
