🍎Good nutrition plays a vital role in cancer prevention and can help patients stay stronger during treatment. This March, our Registered Dietitian, Ashley, will be breaking down how nutrition choices can make a real difference using foods that are abundantly available right here in Alaska. Ashley, a master’s-trained dietitian and member of our Integrative Care Team, provides practical, personalized guidance to help patients nourish their bodies with confidence.

We’re excited to spotlight her expertise all month long, and yes, she promises not to push kale on anyone. 😉

🎗Stay tuned for Week 1 and if you are a current patient and would like an appointment with Ashely call 907-707-1333.

🦶"Patients are always surprised that we can treat Plantar Fasciitis with radiation therapy. I have treated many feet successfully and those patients are back to hiking, running, and living their lives without the constant pain that this benign condition causes." -Dr. Eugene Huang, Chief Medical Officer, Aurora Integrated Oncology Foundation
Advantages of Radiation Therapy for Benign Disease Treatments:
▪️Minimally Invasive
🎯Targeted Treatment
▪️Effective at shrinking or eliminating benign growths, alleviating symptoms, and preventing recurrence.

🩷February is the season of love, and in cancer care that includes protecting what matters most, your heart. AlignRT, the radiation therapy system that we use right here at our clinic, allows radiation treatments to be delivered with greater precision, helping minimize exposure to the heart and surrounding healthy tissue compared to older methods. ❤️This is especially meaningful for patients undergoing treatment for cancers near the chest, including breast and lung cancer, where heart protection is critical. Thoughtful innovation like this reflects our commitment to safer treatment, better outcomes, and caring for the whole person, not just the cancer.

🩷During National Cancer Prevention Month, we’re reminded that in Alaska, where cancer rates remain higher than national averages, prevention and early detection offer real hope. Just as important are the spouses, partners, family members, and friends whose encouragement often leads to screenings, appointments, and care.💗Their love, advocacy, and support are powerful, and they save lives. ❣Happy Valentine’s Day, let your health be part of your love story!
