Scottsbluff, Neb.-based Regional West Medical Center forged a new partnership with the University of Colorado Cancer Center through UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, both in Aurora.
Regional West has partnered with UCHealth since 2007, but this new partnership will allow Regional West patients to meet with cancer specialists at the CU Cancer Center and UCH about comprehensive treatment options. These specialists include radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, genetic counselors and social workers.
"With this new agreement, if patients require advanced cancer treatment, they have the option to be seen by specialists at University of Colorado Hospital with a seamless transition of care," said Will Cook, president and CEO of UCH. "And, through this expanded partnership with UCHealth and the CU Cancer Center that honors our already long-standing relationship, Regional West will be able to offer patients access to advanced medicine and clinical trials not offered anywhere else in western Nebraska."
