Know What to Expect Before You Begin
Tri County Hematology and Oncology Associates proudly offers private, onsite chemotherapy treatment education sessions for patients and their caregivers. We believe that an informed patient is an empowered patient — and that understanding your treatment is a critical part of your care.
These sessions are conducted one-on-one by our experienced oncology nursing staff in a comfortable, private setting. We take the time to answer all of your questions and ensure you feel confident and prepared before your first treatment.
