Bonnyville Cancer Care Clinic

 


The Bonnyville Cancer Clinic focuses on the overall health of their patients, friends and family, encompassing the body, mind and soul of each individual who enters the department, including other staff members in the facility. This department breathes compassion, from assisting with groceries to attending funerals of loved ones. The clinic team is focused on their patients’ well-being. The clinic is an inviting environment where patients and families feel free to ask questions about their care and receive support.

A patient of the clinic commented, “My appointments, while covering the necessary medical information, includes asking about my family and other aspects of my life which allows me to feel like a person rather than just a patient….Nobody wants a cancer diagnosis, but I am grateful to have the Bonnyville Cancer Clinic staff as part of my support system. The nurses, doctors, and staff in the Bonnyville Cancer Clinic recognize my voice when I call with questions, and answer them best they can even when it's beyond the scope of questions I should be asking them…. They have added games to the waiting room, they invite my family and I to come make seasonal crafts, or occasionally offer gifts and books for my children that may help them process and understand or simply to cheer them up! I can't imagine how much more difficult this path would be if I didn't have the wonderful staff in Bonnyville standing with us.”
