When patients come to the Colorado Blood Cancer Institute, the entire treatment team is committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. We understand that it can be difficult for many of our patients who leave their communities and come to an unfamiliar place for specialized care.
We have staff that will help with housing needs, financial assistance, as well as resources for caregivers. We also offer a variety of support groups, and our team works closely with referring physicians to make sure they are kept up-to-date on patients’ progress. As a convenience to our patients, our hematologists provide services to an extended geographical area by traveling routinely to partner clinics in Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado. The close collaboration between CBCI specialists and physicians in outreach areas allows patients to remain in their communities for follow up care.
CBCI physicians maintain close, personal relationships with their patients and CBCI patient satisfaction has been rated above the national average. Surveyed patients reported 100% satisfaction with:
- Family and Friends Kept Informed
- Wait Time Satisfaction
- Privacy and Respect
- Staff Treated You As a Person
- Staff Overall Patient Care
- Trust to Deliver High-Quality Care
As the premier center for blood cancer in the Rocky Mountains, CBCI participates in a number of groundbreaking clinical trials and performs more than 250 transplants a year. Very few transplant programs in the country can offer the level of experience and expertise provided by the physicians and staff at CBCI.
Psychosocial Oncology
While the cancer experience is physical in nature, it is also an emotional experience for patients and their loved ones. Cancer gives rise to a number of psychological and social problems that, when not addressed can lead to increased distress. As a commitment to providing the highest quality cancer care, the Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Comprehensive Cancer Program has developed a new department, the Psychosocial Oncology Department, to better meet the psychosocial needs of cancer patients.
