One thing most patients can count on is that cancer care takes a team! Your multidisciplinary team may include board-certified medical and gynecologic oncologists. Our specialty surgeons and radiation oncologists pride themselves on using leading-edge, minimally invasive techniques when diagnosing and treating your gynecologic cancer. One example is the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). This procedure removes abnormal cells and tissue with minimal side effects.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate, but access to great care hasn’t always been the same for everyone. At Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, we are deeply committed to making sure every patient we treat has access to the best care. As part of this commitment, we partner with several local community and health outreach programs, such as the All-Inclusive Community Health Center (AICHC), to increase access to health care and social services. We are also one of the few centers in the region to have bilingual, female gynecologic oncologists for our patients who speak a variety of languages.

We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities of each member of our diverse communities. In keeping with our Mission, Providence offers financial assistance programs that provide free and low-cost care to those who are eligible.

We are part of the Providence Cancer Institute in Los Angeles, which features world-class oncologists in six hospitals. As our patient, you have access to the largest community-based cancer network in the United States. This means your local cancer care team shares knowledge and experience with other world-class clinicians across 51 hospitals in seven states. The power of our network is one of the reasons more than 1,600 newly diagnosed cancer patients choose Saint Joseph Medical Center each year.
