Our multidisciplinary team, including renowned oncology specialists and nurses, offers a complete spectrum of cancer care dedicated to providing the best outcomes for our patients. Broward Health nurses are specially trained to provide care to oncology patients and are certified in cancer care through the Oncology Nursing Society.

Offering advanced treatments backed by evidence-based research, our services include lung cancer screening, genetic testing, radiation oncology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, patient navigation, nutritional counseling, survivorship programs, support groups, as well as genetic evaluation, counseling, and testing for genetic mutations to determine whether a patient is at an increased risk for cancer.

Improving the Quality of Life for our Patients

Broward Health’s palliative care team focuses on relieving pain, symptoms, and stress of a serious illness. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for our patients and their caregivers. From the time of diagnosis throughout the continuum of care, palliative care is provided alongside curative treatment or treatment to improve quality of life. A collaborative team of physicians, nurses, social workers, and clergy provides a compassionate system of support for patients and their families. The team works together to provide optimal symptom relief, emotional and spiritual support, and assistance to patients and families in making treatment decisions that respect the patient’s wishes.
