The Center has adopted the cooperative care model in which a patients caregiver (friend, spouse, parent, or relative) stays with the patient and provides basic care during treatment and recovery. Care partners assist with daily activities, monitor and assist with self-medication, and escort the patient to and from treatments. The center is said to be the first in the country to combine cooperative care, research, and education.
