at Boulder Community (Broadway) Hospital The Tisone Family Cancer Care Center is one part of the Boulder Community Hospital Oncology Services Program and provides the highest quality inpatient care for acutely ill cancer patients and support for their families. Located on the third floor of Boulder Community Hospital, the specially designed, decorated and staffed unit can accommodate up to 14 patients. ![]() The Oncology Services Program has been recognized by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, which is the College's seal of approval indicating that patients treated at Boulder Community Hospital will receive comprehensive, quality care close to home. In July of 2007, Boulder Community Hospital, in partnership with Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, opened a state of the art outpatient center, The Tebo Family Medical Pavillion, at Boulder Community Foothills Hospital. This 30,000 square foot facility offers the most recent advances in medical care and complementary therapies at one location. The Boulder Community Hospital, Oncology Services Program offers extensive diagnostic and treatment services; including medical oncology, advanced radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging including PET/CT, clinical trials of new cancer fighting drugs, and expanded support services for patients and families. The philosophy of the staff of the inpatient Tisone Cancer Care Center is to encourage patients and their families to participate in discussions and decision making about their treatment with their physicians and nurses. People may feel helpless when cancer is diagnosed. Giving patients and loved ones a voice in their care helps to restore a sense of control, which is an important key to maintaining a positive outlook.
The broad range of physicians affiliated with the Boulder Community Hospital, Oncology Services Program provide our patients access to a comprehensive array of medical and surgical treatments. Multidisciplinary cancer meetings held twice weekly improve collaboration among physicians and healthcare team members and lead to better patient outcomes.
The oncology services staff is of the highest caliber. Patients are cared for by specialty trained oncology nurses, and each registered nurse is assisted by a patient care associate. The inpatient Tisone Cancer Care Center has been recognized by the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation for having a majority of professional nurses certified in oncology. Certification demonstrates a commitment to oncology nursing and the patients we care for.
Staff take pride in creating a supportive and healing environment for patients and family. Friends and family members are encouraged to bring and prepare foods from home, share conversation with others in the family and dining rooms and spend the night in their loved one's room.
Massage therapy services are available to promote relaxation and healing, and a music and videotape library helps patients feel more at home.
Tisone Cancer Care Center patients receive treatment, care and support from many specialists throughout the hospital. This full complement of hospital cancer services for cancer patients addresses each individual's physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Return to Top
