ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE CANCER CARE OUTCOMES REPORT 2017
Dear Colleague,
Throughout 2017, the Shady Grove Adventist Aquilino Cancer Center continued
to provide comprehensive and coordinated cancer care for patients and
families in Montgomery County. Here, our patients and their families were able
to find all of their outpatient cancer treatment needs under one roof.
The Aquilino Cancer Center gives our patients access to our region’s first
Integrative Medicine program. Integrative Medicine provides a comprehensive
way of looking at total wellness and diseases like cancer. Our program offers
therapies that complement traditional cancer treatment methods and address
our patients as a whole person—body, mind and spirit.
The program supports our patient’s cancer journey and improves their
general health by:
l Empowering them to take an active role in their treatment and care
l Treating cancer with state-of-the-art conventional therapies and
lifestyle interventions
l Reducing the side effects of treatment
l Reducing their risk of recurrence
Our brain and spine experts at Shady Grove continue to offer our patients
state-of-the-art neurological and neurosurgical care close to home. And with
the addition of a new physician to our team in 2017, we now have the ability to
perform innovative and minimally invasive brain surgery for our patients.
During the past year, we’ve also undergone a series of quality improvement
processes designed to improve access to care without sacrificing the personal
approach that our patients have come to expect from Shady Grove.
Our team of specialized staff, including oncologists, surgeons, nurses,
technicians, navigators, social workers and integrative medicine experts, allow
us to continue to develop and deliver compassionate cancer care for our
community into 2018 and beyond.

Dear Colleague,
The oncology program at Adventist HealthCare Washington Adventist
Hospital covers every aspect of cancer treatment from prevention, early
detection, pre-treatment evaluation, staging, multi-modality treatment,
rehabilitation and post-treatment monitoring. We spent 2017 continuing
to offer inpatient and outpatient services to those living with cancer in our
community.
At Washington Adventist Hospital, our care extends beyond medical and
surgical treatment. Our patients benefit from a broad range of support
services to help them feel better physically and emotionally. Depending
on a patient’s personalized care plan, we have radiologists, pathologists,
surgeons, radiation oncologists, cancer nurse navigators and dieticians
available to be a part of their team.
We are excited about the opportunity to extend our cancer care with our
new hospital, Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center, which is
projected to open its doors in 2019. This new facility will allow us to expand
access to excellent care and integrate advances in modern medicine.
Project highlights and construction progress can be found by visiting
www.ourcommunitytransformed.org.
As the needs in our community continue to change and evolve, the Cancer
Team at Washington Adventist Hospital will continue its commitment to
providing the best, most advanced clinical care possible for our patients.
