Cancer Care:
Strength in
a Name
Why Ironwood?
A cancer diagnosis can change you. You may value things
differently, approach decisions differently, and view life
differently. Choose the cancer care center that understands
these changes and is committed to delivering exceptional
care—differently.
I
ronwood Cancer & Research Centers
offers the best options for the best
possible outcomes, offered with the
utmost understanding of how your
diagnosis has affected your life.
Here, you’ll find a team of physicians
trained at some of the most prestigious
centers in the country: UC Davis, Wayne
State University, Cleveland Clinic, Baylor
University…the list goes on.
These doctors take time to extend their
knowledge base, to share that knowledge
in medical journals, and to train the next
generation of doctors. They have brought
caring and compassion to their practice
of medicine and have been recognized as
“Top Docs” year after year.
One is medical oncologist Jeffrey
Isaacs, MD, who talks about the qualities
that drew him to Ironwood: “Everything
here is patient-focused, and we’ve created
a culture that allows complete collaboration among doctors. It is common for us
to walk into each other’s offices for quick
conferences about our patients’ care. You
don’t see that everywhere.
“We participate in Phase II through
IV clinical trials and offer our patients
an opportunity to participate in bringing new agents or combinations of agents
into the mainstream of treatment.
“And because we recognize that cancer
affects not only patients, but also their
families, we continue to develop support
programs and seek funding sources to
help defray the costs of cancer care.
“Caring and compassion are at the
heart of Ironwood,” says Dr. Isaacs, “but
our patient outcomes are what make us a
stellar group in our community.”
“Our namesake, the ironwood
tree, is found only in the
Sonoran Desert. We chose it
for our name and logo because
it symbolizes the strength,
protection, and comfort that
we offer all of our patients,”
says practice administrator
Elizabeth Mueller, CMPE.
“It sends roots deep into
the ground to anchor it
for hundreds of years, and
its dense wood supports a
lush canopy that shields and
nourishes the plant and animal
life that thrive in its shade.
“Like the ironwood, we have
roots that extend deep into
our community, and our sturdy
practice and expansive ‘canopy’
of caring and compassion give
our patients something solid to
count on as they learn to live in
cancer’s uncertain terrain.
“For us, the ironwood tree
represents the passion and the
power we bring to the fight
against cancer.”
