When you’re fighting cancer, you want your home team nearby

The MaineHealth Cancer Care Network is designed to reduce the need for travel whenever possible by connecting cancer experts with cancer patients. This powerful collaboration brings together nearly 300 of the most talented cancer care providers in northern New England, with the support of the Harold Alfond® Foundation. The foundation is providing a generous five-year grant that supports the staff and technology that connect us.

No one chooses to have cancer. But you can choose how you fight it

Our network is a coordinated system of care led by a team of specialists based in various locations who partner to deliver quality cancer care. Our team includes:

• Physicians who have achieved the highest levels of training as surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists
• Patient navigators who specialize in cancer and help guide patients through their care
• Social workers and nutritionists who provide support that can ease a patient’s experience

We provide the best evidence-based cancer services as close to home as possible. Physicians and patient navigators help patients access care in the most appropriate network locations so they receive the right care, in the right location, while minimizing the time and expense of travel.
