Treatment Philosophy

Receiving radiation therapy at CCC involves minimal disruption of the patients' everyday activities. The treatments are quick and painless. Over the past 22 years, radiation therapy technology has steadily evolved and become more sophisticated. At CCC we constantly strive to stay abreast of this advancing technology without unnecessary or wasteful expenditures. New developments in radiation therapy technology are thoroughly investigated to determine whether additional purchases are appropriate for the Center and our patients.

Not only do we have state-of-the-art equipment, our staff is highly trained and skilled in delivering radiation treatments. Our medical personnel are all licensed by the state of Oregon and are certified by nationally recognized organizations in their respective fields of expertise. Continuing education for each member of our staff is a top priority for CCC management in order to ensure that our staff continues to deliver the best medical care available anywhere! The Community Cancer Center is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. This is your assurance that our building, equipment, policies, procedures, and personnel have all been examined by outside experts and that we meet or exceed the rigorous national standards set by these organizations.

CCC offers a wide array of radiation and medial oncology services and provides an in-house blood draw station / laboratory for the convenience of our patients. Many ancillary services are provided (as needed) to our cancer patients including nutritional counseling, social / psychological counseling, housing and transportation assistance, and patient education opportunities. We also are home to numerous cancer support service organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Douglas County Cancer Services, and the Treva Hoffman Foundation.

The Community Cancer Center accepts/participates with many insurance programs including,but not limited to: Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Oregon, Medicare, Lifewise, PacificSource and ODS Health Plan. Our financial counselor will be glad to work with you to develop a payment plan suitable to your financial situation.

We believe that the Center's involvement in the community does not reside solely with the delivery of radiation therapy, but touches on all aspects of cancer prevention, awareness, education, and treatment. Therefore, the Community Cancer Center supports cancer awareness by participation in health fairs and sponsoring many cancer related events. Our spacious conference rooms are utilized by CCC and other organizations in order to provide educational and meeting opportunities for health care providers and the general public.
