Are you currently undergoing cancer treatment and experiencing chills, fever, constipation, or another pressing health concern?
Cancer and its treatments can sometimes cause side effects and complications that need prompt medical attention. The Oncology Comprehensive Assessment/Rapid Evaluation and Treatment (C.A.R.E.) Clinic, a service of the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, is here to provide that for you.
Staffed by cancer specialists, the clinic offers same-day appointments that allow you to receive a thorough evaluation and appropriate medical care to get you the care you need and deserve. Our goal is to provide you with convenient and accessible services, and potentially avoid the Emergency Room (ER) and a hospital admission.
