Kootenai Cancer Center Satellite Office in Sandpoint
The well known Kootenai Cancer Center in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho used to be where any Sandpoint resident needing cancer treatment would have to go. Accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on cancer, the medical center focuses on all stages of cancer from prevention to remission.
Without needing the services, one may not realize there is now a satellite office in our own Bonner General Hospital. Oncologist, Francene Mason or Dr. Fran, as she likes to be called, is the doctor on staff in Sandpoint. Dr. Fran is a knowledgeable and caring physician who is very willing to partner with her patients and respect their choices whether it be allopathic or alternative treatment. How lucky we are to have such a wise physician in our little town.
There is also a group called Community Cancer Services who provides local support and information for those cancer patients who have needs for themselves or family. In addition to resource and information services, CCS can also provide financial assistance, such as, but not limited to gas vouchers if a person must travel to Coeur d'Alene.
The contact person for CCS services would be Lisa Carothers, LMSW 208 265-8763.
