3 Key Takeaways:
- The atmosphere at the prostate cancer institute is like a family, creating a welcoming and non-intimidating environment for patients.
- Clear and effective communication is a key element in providing the best care for patients, with the staff being proactive in adjusting schedules and procedures.
- The institute is dedicated to promoting the urology team’s expertise and commitment to providing high-quality care, making patients feel at ease and confident in their treatment.
“When working at an advanced prostate cancer institute like ours, the atmosphere is unlike any other. It feels like home, like family,” explains Mari Gomez-Morellos, one of our dedicated radiation therapists in Oxford, FL. The essence of family isn’t restricted to our urology team; it extends to our patients as well. The moment they step into our facility, they are welcomed with open arms and reassured hearts. They quickly realize that battling prostate cancer here is not as intimidating as they had initially presumed.
“The reason why I like working here is it feels like a family. Everyone of course knows everyone, it feels like home and I think a lot of the patients feel that and when they feel that they kind of feel welcomed here. They feel like, you know, it’s not as scary as they thought it would be,” shares Morellos.
Seamless Communication: A Key Element
In this line of work, clear communication can be a lifeline. It is a critical element in our operations. Clarity and precision in communication ensure our patients receive the best care. When schedules must change or when procedures need to be adjusted, we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve.
As Morellos puts it, “And staff, as far as the staff, we have great communication skills. You know, we have to change patient’s schedule, you know, we’re already on it. Everyone in the front and the back staff, you know, doctor, we all pretty much communicate and communication is also key so that the patient, the message can get across to that patient and pretty much avoid confusion.”
