ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT: MARY BIRD
PERKINS CANCER CENTER
In 2008, Mary Bird Perkins
Cancer Center formed a partnership with Terrebonne General Medical Center and
Cancer Care Specialists. Each party had one goal in mind: to offer residents of
the Bayou Region a comprehensive cancer center, close to home.
Since then, Mary Bird
Perkins Cancer Center at TGMC has grown and evolved to meet the needs of the
community, but its mission has remained the same: to improve survivorship and
lessen the burden of cancer. As a comprehensive cancer facility, Mary Bird provides
the full continuum of cancer care – from prevention and early detection to
diagnosis, treatment, recovery and survivorship. The Center’s services include
chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery.
The Cancer Center at TGMC
offers free cancer screenings, community education and support opportunities
for cancer patients throughout the year. Residents of the Bayou Region can also
get free cancer screenings though the Early Bird, a mobile medical clinic that
helps brings early detection to the uninsured at times and locations that are
convenient.
