A Program for Fox Chase Patients to Connect with Community Physicians
Many of our patients who receive treatment at Fox Chase are searching for a primary care/internal medicine physician close to home.
The Care Connect Program makes it easy for patients to find the right provider in their community that agrees to partner in their care—whether they need cancer screening, currently have cancer, or are a cancer survivor.
Care Connect is a collaboration between Fox Chase Cancer Center and community physicians.
Care Connect is a collaboration between Fox Chase Cancer Center and community physicians to guide patients through the transitions of their cancer journey. We combine cancer-related education, screening algorithms, survivorship care resources, and connectivity to provide patients with a seamless continuum of care.
Through the Care Connect program, patients know that their oncology and primary care providers are working together to provide high-quality services. This makes the Care Connect member network a truly valuable resource. The result is a seamless continuum of care for patients.
