STAT Clinics
Patients experience the highest level of patient-centered care in our STAT Clinics for specific cancer types. In these multidisciplinary clinics, multiple specialists come to the patient in one day, to help a patient understand their diagnosis and treatment options. Because of this model, patients typically start treatment faster, which can lead to better outcomes.

Cancer support services
Wellstar Cobb’s comprehensive cancer care program provides every aspect of support for families and caregivers, going above and beyond treatment. When working with our support team, patients have commented on the compassionate and personalized care they experience, and how they feel listened to.
A patient’s personalized support team can include an oncology-specific nurse navigator, a dietitian, a social worker, a financial counselor and a chaplain. In many cases, our patients work closely with Wellstar genetic counselors to help them understand possible hereditary cancer syndromes that may run in their family. When needed, palliative care physicians and cancer rehabilitation specialists can help with symptom management. Oncology-specific psychologists and psychiatrists can provide support for other challenges patients and their spouses may face, including depression and anxiety.
Support groups are a meaningful way for many of our patients to connect with peers. Your nurse navigator can help you get connected.
