About the Center

Our Purpose

The purpose of the Ronald Weiser Center for Prostate Cancer is to create a sanctuary where patients and families can thrive.

Our Guiding Principles

Upholding the Weiser Center for Prostate Cancer as a sanctuary of healing and understanding, we commit to Patient-Centered Communication. We:

• Engage in meaningful dialogue that values two-way listening and learning while heightening comfort
• Communicate clearly, with warmth and professionalism.
• Recognize and respect the unique needs of patients and their advocates, involving them in shared decisions around their care.
• Devote dedicated attention to preparedness and quality of care to make the most of each interaction.

Our team is committed to Patient-Centered Communication throughout the prostate cancer journey. Learn how this philosophy elevates our standard of care.

Communication
We are dedicated to strong communication with you and between every member of your team. Each of our team members strives to get to know you: your values, your preferences, your concerns, and your experience of care. With your permission, we often share our findings across your team so that every team member understands how they can support your care.

Collaboration
Every voice matters. Each of our team members listens to you and your loved ones. Our experts gather and consider how we can collectively provide you with the best possible care. By listening and valuing every voice, we can develop and deliver a unique care plan that is personalized just for you.

Coordination
Our team is organized to provide you with the best support. Different members of your team may have a larger or smaller role at different steps in your journey. Every team member stays up to date on your progress through treatment and recovery, always ready to contribute their expertise when you need it.
