Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) is expanding its cancer program through the recruitment of specialized physicians, the addition of new clinical services and the continued expansion of an integrated model of care designed to provide patients with comprehensive cancer treatment close to home. Led by Javier Muñoz, MD, Cancer Center Director, the program is bringing together experts across medical, cardiac and surgical oncology, pulmonary medicine, imaging, pathology and supportive care to deliver coordinated, patient-centered cancer care. “When 35% of cancer patients leave Southwest Florida to receive care, it signals a significant unmet need in our region,” said Paul Hiltz, President and CEO of NCH. “That’s why we’re enhancing this integrated program around the needs of each patient, bringing together highly specialized physicians, advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities, clinical research and the expertise of Northwestern Medicine so more patients can receive sophisticated, coordinated cancer care here in Southwest Florida.”As part of its continued growth, NCH will be hiring a breast medical oncologist in January.
