4 Commission on Cancer Since 1978, the cancer program at Saint Francis Hospital has been continuously accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC). About Saint Francis Cancer Center The Saint Francis Cancer Center delivers world-class oncology services to patients in Tulsa, Okla. Founded in 1975, the cancer center was established in honor of Natalie Warren Bryant, second daughter of hospital founders Mr. and Mrs. William K. Warren, Sr., who passed away from breast cancer at age 49. It was designed to be a warm and welcoming place where patients could receive multidisciplinary cancer treatment. More than 40 years later, we ve proudly turned that mission to tradition. The center now consists of two locations: Saint Francis Hospital and the Saint Francis Cancer Center near 51st Street and Garnett in Tulsa, Okla. Treatment practices include board-certified physicians who provide multidisciplinary care in a professional, patient- and family-focused setting. Premier Cancer Center Offers Patient-centered Care Maintaining a quality cancer treatment center requires teamwork among many different medical disciplines. Our multidisciplinary team approach is the key to providing quality care for patients and their families. By combining the cancer center medical team s expertise and specialized knowledge, a comprehensive care management plan is developed to meet individual needs. The cancer center provides patients the convenience of treatment, laboratory services, medical imaging, nutrition and social service support in one location. Our cancer treatment center physicians have access to the extensive resources of Saint Francis Hospital, including an acute inpatient oncology unit. Post-treatment care is available through Saint Francis Home Health. Cancer Treatment Center With a Family Focus As advanced as our treatments are, we understand one of the most powerful tools in our patients fight against cancer is the support of their family and friends. That s why every effort has been made to ensure both locations are welcoming and family-centered. We are here not only for our patients, but for their family and friends as well. If you have questions or concerns, all you need to do is let your nurse know. 3
