Samaritan Cancer Program
Welcome to the Samaritan Cancer Program. We know that a diagnosis of cancer affects not only your body, it affects your emotions and spirit as well. Going online may be a first step in deciding on care for yourself or someone you love. You want solid information, and you want assurance that you’ll get the very best care possible.
That’s what we want, too; to give you information that you can understand and to provide you with the most competent, compassionate care available. That’s why we’ll be with you every step of the way, from diagnostic testing, through treatment, and to follow-up rehabilitation, support and education.
About the photo: An old Japanese legend says that “A crane is supposed to live for a thousand years. If a sick person folds a thousand paper cranes, the gods will grant their wish and make them healthy again.”
As a leadership project at Crescent Valley High School, Diana Baumgartner and Tia Barker folded 1,000 paper cranes for the Samaritan Regional Cancer Center in 1998. The cranes remain on display in the waiting room as inspiration for peace, hope and health.
