Cancer Care Takes a Special Kind of Nurse

It takes a special kind of person to care for a patient who has been diagnosed with cancer. Allegiance Health registered nurse Stacy DeWitt talks about the compassion and understanding required in her work and what makes it all worthwhile.

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but you won’t face it alone. Allegiance Health provides a full range of cancer care services – from prevention and screenings to treatment and follow-up care. We treat the whole person—body, mind and spirit—and offer services that complement medical treatment, including resources for stress management and mindfulness meditation, nutrition counseling with registered dietitians, exercise and relaxation classes and emotional support groups.
