Maryview Medical Center is a special place for people with cancer. The physicians, nurses and support staff have a special place in their hearts for these patients and are truly committed to patient care. They take the Bon Secours mission very seriously, and it shows. We get to know the patients and their families very well, to the point where we know them by their voice.
The oncology program offers the perfect combination of head and heart and is a marvelous place for those with cancer to receive treatment. We take a nurturing approach to cancer and focus on the psychological, spiritual and physical well being of the patients. We offer a wonderful combination of high-tech medical equipment and technology and hands-on, compassionate care that you can’t find at other institutions.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is an extremely important and integral part of the oncology program, and patients are relieved to find them as part of their care team. They play an active role in patient care, from diagnosis, through treatment and recovery. I have never been in a place where the pastoral care programs gets as involved in patient care as they do at Maryview.

Education
People are ultimately responsible for their own healthcare, but it is our responsibility to make sure patients are fully educated about their health. There is an ongoing commitment to education by this institution.
