History
Hope Community Cancer Center came into
being in 1995. I initially started out in private practice in 1995,
and practiced alone for 2 years. I was then joined by my associate
Dr. Hemang Dave, MD. It was 2 years later that we decided to
broaden our practice and try to include access to more than just
medical oncology and hematology. We wanted our patients to have
access to nutritional counseling, social services and psychological
counseling. We wanted our patients to feel as if they were treated
as a whole person, not just as a diagnosis. 
We also wanted them to
have hopefulness and even some joy when they came to our office. We
had artist Jeanne Elodie paint murals in the waiting rooms and the
examining rooms to help brighten them, knowing that many patients
are frightened in an oncologist’s office. We then chose the
name "Hope Community Cancer Center". The HOPE logo includes a tree,
which I wanted to represent the "Tree of Life". Artist Susan Weis
took this idea and placed a heart in the center of the tree, to
represent our strong desire to treat our patients not only with the
best clinical medicine but also with tender loving care, with
"heart". We hope that you will find our community cancer
center has just the right balance for you and your loved ones.

HCCC 'Eval Suite'
Aside from our
main office we created an 'Eval Suite' (opened November 2002). This
came about from our idea and need for having a quiet setting to
concentrate on new patients. The 'Eval Suite' is down the hall from
our main office and treatment areas. This provides a quiet setting
for the patients and their family to meet with the doctors and
hopefully ease some of the stress that patients have on that first
visit. This is just another means to trying to meet the needs of
our patients.
