The best outcomes start with expert, compassionate care—plus integrated support.

Fighting cancer successfully takes more than treating the disease. Beyond expert clinical care, every patient needs support.

That’s why we provide all patients with access to specially trained social workers. Their role is to help patients and their families and caregivers deal with the highly emotional experience of facing cancer. See our patient stories to learn more about how the care and support they received from NECS helped them cope and succeed in their cancer journey.

Specialized care throughout the treatment journey—with the added affordability of an independent practice.

Every NECS patient works with a dedicated care team comprised of an advanced practice provider, oncology nurse, medical assistant and patient care coordinator. Our team approach ensures you receive comprehensive, personalized care, and will always have someone to ask about your progress.

And as a practice based on an Oncology Medical Home model, you also get access to a host of important, affiliated services right within the practice. These include imaging, financial advocacy and support, nutritional workshops, specialty pharmacy, patient peer support and more. And because NECS is an independent practice, it is more affordable than hospital-based care.
