Compass Oncology PatientCancer Care Close to Home
Compass Oncology is part of the community. And our patients can feel that. They see us supporting local non-profits that support cancer patients. They see us sponsoring blood drives and oncology support groups. They see our providers making presentations in person and online. They see and hear our advertising as we do our best to connect to our community. We are embedded in neighborhoods, standing ready when our neighbors need us most.
Sometimes we are asked: “Why do you do it?”
The answers are as unique as the stories that brought us to work with cancer patients at Compass. The common thread is a simple yet powerful statement, embedded in the heart of our collective mission…
We care.
