Cancer treatment tailored to you
At Adventist Health Sonora, our patients are so much more than a diagnosis. They are integral members of the community we love. That’s why we offer comprehensive care to get them back to the more they were made for, with specialists across a wide range of cancer types and experienced nurse navigators. It’s a team approach designed to get our patients back to work, family, and the life they love.
Leading Cancer Care in the Sierra Foothills
Nationally recognized standards of care and quality you can trust
The Diana J. White Cancer Institute is one of only 16 cancer centers in California certified by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®). This certification means you can be confident you’re receiving high-quality care, with a strong focus on patient safety, treatment planning and supporting each patient’s overall well-being.
Our radiation oncology program is also accredited through the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s APEx® (Accreditation Program for Excellence). Developed by leading radiation oncology experts, this rigorous accreditation validates adherence to the highest national standards for safety, precision and quality — recognizing excellence across every aspect of care, from treatment planning to delivery.
Extraordinary Support
Our team handles the details, so you don’t have to
When you're fighting cancer, you want to focus on what matters most and not on managing appointments, insurance billing and other details. Our nurse navigator helps you understand your treatment options, assists with making appointments and helps obtain referrals. Your patient service coordinator and social worker help determine your eligibility for resources, maximize your insurance benefits and handle the details and paperwork for you.
