Ms. Paula M. ReedCancer Program Narrative Description:
The Palo Alto Medical Foundation, located in Silicon Valley, is a large multispecialty group with over 800 practicing physicians offering primary and specialty care. The Cancer Program has four locations: Palo Alto, Mountain View, Fremont and Santa Cruz. We know that cancer challenges not only the body but also the mind and spirit. That's why we partner with patients during each stage of their care process, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond, and provide them with comprehensive, integrated, world-class care. We are dedicated to providing patients with the support their need to overcome the challenges that cancer presents to their health, their life and those they love. A full range of diagnostic, therapeutic and supportive specialties are available to our patients and families.
