    At TidalHealth you are never alone; we help you navigate your diagnosis.


    Getting Started

    At the first visit, you will meet with one or more of our specialists who will examine you after reviewing your x-rays. A recommendation will be made for diagnostic procedures or other types of follow-up.

    Our patients have access to a cancer care nurse navigator and a cancer care coordinator who assist patients and their families through the cancer journey. From answering questions about diagnosis and treatments to scheduling appointments, they are there to help.

    When it comes to treatment, surgeons, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists work together to create a plan unique to each patient. This team approach means everyone receives diagnosis and care as quickly as possible in collaboration with experts from a variety of specialties.

    Our care continues into survivorship, with cancer survivors welcomed into our free programs including support groups, classes and celebrations.


    Preparing for Your First Visit

    We want to make your first visit as stress-free as possible. Please give us a call if you have any questions or concerns. Here is a list that can help prepare you for your first appointment. 

    Log on to Your Online Medical Record

    Having access to your online medical record helps you keep track of your test results and appointments. Learn about MyChart.

    What to Bring

    You will need to bring the following items to your first visit:

    • One form of valid photo identification (driver’s license, state ID, military ID or passport)
    • Current insurance card(s)
    • A list of your current physicians with addresses and phone numbers
    • A detailed list of your medications (prescribed, over-the-counter and herbals) including:
      • Why you take them
      • Dose amount
      • How often you take them
    • Your pharmacy’s contact information
    • A list of your allergies
    • Medical Power of Attorney and Living Will, if completed
    • Any additional information your care team member asked you to bring

    You may need to bring other items but we will let you know ahead of time. You may get a packet in the mail that includes a medical history form and other items. Please fill this out in advance and bring with you, along with anything else your care team requested.
