Oncology Program Expansion and Facility Renovation

Patient demand continues to grow for TMC’s quality cancer care, but our existing Oncology Center is outdated and crowded.  Oncology services will soon be relocated to new space, almost three times the size of the current Center. The new Center will offer a better experience for more patients, including giving our patients access to the latest advancements in cancer treatment. The $5M Oncology campaign goal includes ongoing funding of Patient Navigator as well as a $500,000 operating endowment.

Chronic Disease Management

An increasing number of TMC’s patients have chronic conditions. Our innovative Guided Chronic Care™ and Passport to Wellness™ programs were created to address both medical and social factors that interfere with patient care and that lead to lower quality and higher cost.  The programs specifically target low-income, ethnically diverse patients. Interdisciplinary teams works to address patients’ non-medical concerns, such as family and social support issues. The teams mobilize community resources and advocate for patients at TMC and across other systems and agencies.

Healing Arts

Art has long been known to aid in the healing process. This unique TMC program presents a healing and soothing environment for patients, visitors, and employees through various art activities. These include the First Friday Concert Series, the Healing Arts Gallery, and high-quality art on display throughout each hospital. The Center for the Healing Arts addresses the emotional needs of patients and families, as well as our caregivers.
