Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Cancer Institute provides expert compassionate care with a small-town feel in Volusia County. The Cancer Institute is committed to providing exceptional care throughout our community and Central Florida.

As an affiliate of the FLORIDA HOSPITAL Cancer Institute in Orlando, our patients receive the latest cancer detection, prevention and treatment technology close to home. Patients will work with community physicians through the diagnosis and treatment processes with the guidance of a patient care liaison to assist patients with support and education services.

The team of expert physicians and health care professionals at the Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Cancer Institute work closely together in the fight against cancer by providing comprehensive care. The overall goal is to improve patient outcomes by reducing the number of both new cancer cases and deaths caused by cancer. This can be done utilizing several effective strategies:

• Prevention
• Decrease behavioral and environmental risk factors
• Make available evidence-based screening tests
• Early diagnosis
• Pretreatment evaluation
• Reduction of length of time between diagnosis and treatment
• Staging to enable appropriate treatment planning and for prognosis
• Optimal treatment using proven clinical pathways
• Access to clinical research trials
• Collection of accurate, population-based data
• Monitor trends of cancer incidence to address needs
• Rehabilitation services
• Surveillance for recurrent disease and secondary cancers
• Support services
• End-of-life care

Cancer and its treatment affects patients in many ways; sometimes the ability to function in daily life is altered and weaknesses appear. Learn how FHFM Rehabilitative Services (including physical, occupational and speech therapy) can help patients through this trying time.
