Oncology Certified Nurses

Our nursing team is comprised of Oncology Certified Registered Nurses (OCN). This means that your team of nurses has extensive training and experience caring specifically for patients in cancer treatment and the skills that are needed to support them.

Oncology Nurse Navigation Team

Our team of Oncology Nurse Navigators' goal is to guide patients through their cancer journey, help them overcome obstacles, and provide emotional support. They guide patients with abnormal findings through and around barriers in the complex cancer care system to help ensure timely diagnosis and treatment. They assist patients with referrals to surgeons, oncologists, hematologists, radiation oncologists, specialists, and subspecialists and often make referrals for financial counseling, nutrition and support groups.

At AdventHealth Hendersonville, we are blessed to have six Oncology Nurse Navigators who support AdventHealth cancer patients. One is devoted to breast cancer patients; one to oral cancer patients and four support patients with all other types of cancer as well as patients with other primary tumor sites.

Our financial counseling team works with each patient to create a plan to help you cover the cost of your care. With more resources than ever before, we let you focus on what matters most: your health.

Rehabilitation Services

Cancer treatments can have side effects, like weakened muscles or decreased range of motion. Rehab can help you regain strength and address specific side effects from your treatment. Our rehabilitation team offers therapy and medical fitness to assist patients going through chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Specially trained therapists personalize exercise programs tailored to meet your needs, taking into consideration your prior fitness level, type of cancer and type of cancer treatment you have received or are currently receiving.

Home Health

Palliative Care

Caring for you goes beyond healing you. It’s about making you feel better throughout your treatment. Our palliative care staff works with your medical team to reduce symptoms and ease pain.

Our clinical research program is dedicated to finding clinical trials that would be beneficial to any of our patients. They work with our Cancer Services physicians to offer eligible patients the opportunity to receive cutting-edge therapy close to home. Our patients have access to more than 1000 clinical trials addressing a wide variety of disease sites.

We offer Genetic Testing for people who have been diagnosed with or people who are at risk for breast, colon or ovarian cancer. Patients already diagnosed with cancer, or those with a strong family history of cancer, may choose to be tested to determine if they possess genes that could be passed on to their children. People who have been identified as “at-risk” are encouraged to start cancer screening at an early age to increase survival rates

The Breast Centers at AdventHealth Hendersonville serve women who have discovered a breast lump or have an abnormal mammogram and patients who are at high risk of breast cancer.

Our program is accredited by the American College of Surgeons' National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). That means you’ll always have superior breast care delivered in a comforting, woman-focused environment. You will always be in the best care, from screenings and advanced cancer treatments to surgical interventions.
