About the Company:
One of the largest cancer care providers in Florida, Orlando Health Cancer Institute is guided by
its vision “to be a national leader by providing exceptional cancer care and a personalized
experience.” The realization of that vision includes a focus on an expanding footprint, enhanced
services and treatments, advancements in technology, and an ever-growing team of interdisciplinary
cancer experts specializing in more than 200 types of cancer. The institute’s dedicated medical
staff consists of more than 60 medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, as well as pathologists,
advanced practice providers, nurse and clinical specialists, and support staff such as pharmacists,
dietitians and counselors. We also reach across specialties as needed, into areas like neurosurgery,
pancreatology, colon and rectal surgery, and endocrinology. This multidisciplinary team approach
means that each patient benefits from the expertise of a team of specialists who work together to
develop a coordinated, personalized care plan, across the cancer-care continuum. These teams meet
several times a week in tumor boards to talk through each patient’s treatment plan and
progression.
The institute continues to introduce and further novel technologies to ensure
top-notch services, such as new advanced radiation and proton therapies, bone marrow transplant and
cellular therapy, and cancer-related aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Through a robust
research program, the institute also supports physician involvement in numerous research studies and
clinical trials that gives patients access to innovative diagnosis, treatment and symptom management
options.
While the institute’s comprehensive care includes an expert team of medical
professionals, advanced technology and leading-edge research, we recognize there is more to cancer
care. To treat the whole person — body, mind and spirit — the institute offers supportive and
palliative care, cancer genetic counseling and high-risk care, and complementary services through
various wellness programs, integrative medicine and a Cancer Support Community.
In addition
to an all-inclusive facility on Orlando Health’s downtown campus, Orlando Health Cancer Institute
has five additional treatment locations, in Clermont, Dr. Phillips area, St. Cloud, Lake Mary and
