Moncrief Cancer Institute in Fort Worth Opens Clinic for Cancer Survivors
Around Campus
UT Southwestern’s Moncrief Cancer Institute is helping people get back to living through its new Primary Care Clinic for Cancer Survivors. Staffed by three UT Southwestern family medicine physicians and a certified physician assistant, the clinic helps improve the quality of life for cancer survivors by optimizing control of chronic medical conditions, providing emotional support, and addressing long-term or late effects from cancer treatment. Through the clinic’s partnership with the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, cancer survivors can access one-on-one consultations with a specialized fitness trainer, dietitian, genetic counselor, social worker, clinical psychologist, and referrals for specialty care. The overarching goal of the Primary Care Clinic team is to help survivors stay strong in their fight against the disease by providing tools to survive and thrive.
