West O'ahu's Only Accredited Cancer Treatment Facility

Providing Care Close to Home

For patients in active treatment, Pali Momi Medical Center provides excellent care right in the community, eliminating the burden of travelling to Honolulu for rigorous treatment schedules. The hospital’s nurses are specially trained in oncology care and the team includes nurses who have also received national certification from the Oncology Nursing Society. The facility’s chemotherapy bays are an example of the team’s attention to patient comfort. Each bay is private and is equipped for patients to watch television, play DVD’s or listen to music.

A Dedicated Team of Specialists

In addition to the hospital’s tumor conference, which examines all cancer sites, an experienced group of cancer specialists has initiated a multidisciplinary treatment team specifically for breast and gastrointestinal cancers. Physicians representing various specialties from oncology to pathology to surgery, participate in review of each patient case. The process begins with a definitive diagnosis and explores all appropriate options to arrive at an individualized comprehensive treatment plan. Patients benefit greatly from the combined expertise of the group.

Multidisciplinary Approach for Better Outcomes

National studies have found the multidisciplinary approach to cancer care to be superior. Leading cancer centers across the nation have adopted this coordinated approach to treatment; it is the standard of care today.
