The South Bay Survivorship Consortium was formed in 2009 to create a forum
where healthcare providers can focus on assuring excellence in survivorship
care in our community.
The Consortium's model of coordinated support strives to bring cancer
survivors and their loved ones closer to the resources that will give
them strength as they complete their cancer treatment and transition back
to living their lives to the fullest.
Mission
Our mission is to improve the quality of care delivered to cancer survivors
in the South Bay Community by providing education and support for cancer
survivors and health care providers through the activities of a collaborative
partnership of community-based healthcare organizations.
We believe survivorship begins the day of diagnosis for the person diagnosed
and his/her loved ones. Survivorship issues should be addressed across
the continuum of cancer, from diagnosis through end of life care.
Goals
- Education of cancer survivors, Primary Care Providers and Oncology Specialists
- Resource development and implementation to facilitate delivery of high
quality, cost effective and appropriate care for cancer survivors
- Communication of established standards of care for cancer survivorship
to survivors and health care professionals
