The OncoGeneralist provides comprehensive care for patients transitioning from active cancer treatment to survivorship, addressing the acute medical, physical, emotional, psychosocial, and sexual health concerns that commonly arise following completion of therapy.

The OncoGeneralist functions as a survivorship specialist during this critical transition period, and leads a team of Advanced Practice Providers helping patients navigate the often-complex aftermath of cancer treatment while establishing individualized plans for long-term health maintenance and recovery.
