P H O E N I X H E A LT H C A R E PR O F I L E S 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.” CASA GRANDE CHANDLER DEER VALLEY 1637 E.
