Research has shown that patients receive the highest quality cancer care while participating in clinical trials. Cancer clinical trials at the NWCC are offered to patients through Essentia Health’s participation in NCORP, the National Cancer Institute’s Community Oncology Research Program. Our patients have access to the same clinical trials as other major cancer centers in the United States.
Patients diagnosed with cancer have many questions. Helping them find credible information is vital in supporting their journey through treatment and recovery. The Cancer Resource Center is here for patients, families, friends and caregivers to research all aspects of cancer, find support groups, and receive information about community resources and more.
A salon-style wig room gives chemotherapy patients a new look and boost of self-confidence when going through treatments. The wigs come in all different colors, styles and lengths and each is treated with special care. Every wig is donated to the Cancer Center, and each is free to any cancer patient. Besides the dozens of wigs in the room, generous volunteers have also knit shawls to wear when receiving infusions and quilts that patients can take home.
