Cancer treatments can be complex, and patients need coordinated care to guide them through the process. Diplomat's Oncology Center of Excellence connects the entire health care team, providing expertise and personal support throughout the patient's journey. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and care staff alike—we're all in it for the patient.
"Diplomat works to create trust between the company and our patients," said Diplomat CEO and Chairman Phil Hagerman. "Many of our team members have experienced cancer in some way in their life, whether through a family member, friend, or personally. They know how to truly care for our patients because they have experienced it, too."
According to the National Cancer Institute, about 1,685,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2016. According to the World Health Organization, the number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70 percent over the next two years.
"Diplomat's oncology team of pharmacists, nurses, and care coordinators work hard every day to help you succeed. Whether your success involves remembering to take your pills or keeping side effects at bay so you can get back to what matters most," said Kelly Procailo, PharmD, BCOP, clinical oncology senior manager at Diplomat.
