Washington Hospital has collaborated with UCSF Health to provide oncology patients with access to the latest cancer research, technology and treatment in a comforting and convenient environment.
As medical director, UCSF physician Bogdan Eftimie, MD, oversees cancer services at Washington Hospital.
Together with referring providers, Washington Hospital and UCSF Health aim to redefine what is possible in cancer care while significantly improving the lives of the patients we serve.
A cancer diagnosis understandably causes fear and unease, and naturally you will want to find the best possible medical care to treat it. That’s exactly what you’ll receive as a patient at Washington Health’s Comprehensive Community Cancer Program. We treat a wide range of cancer types with advanced treatment designed for optimal outcomes delivered by board-certified physicians who specialize in oncology.
