About Our Program

From Our Medical Director

Sumeet Bhatia, MDThe partnership with Community Health Network and MD Anderson Cancer Center provides access to world-renowned cancer care close to home for your patients. Our team is committed to seeing new cancer patients within 48-hours from initial contact to consultation. Reducing the time between receiving the message of a cancer diagnosis and meeting with a cancer expert is extremely important to our patients and their families. Our teams of subspecialized physicians provide disease specific multi-disciplinary care, including focused tumor boards, multi-disciplinary consults, and access to MD Anderson specialists and researchers for consultation and second opinions. Most importantly, we understand the significance of receiving personalized, quality care close to home. We will discuss options with the patient, family and referring provider to receive treatment close to their home community. —Sumeet Bhatia, MD, medical director
