Why Patient-Centered Care Matters 

Written By Erica Stupfel

Today is World Cancer Day, and this year’s theme, United by Unique, highlights the importance of patient-centered care—something we, at the South Sound CARE Foundation, prioritize each and every day.

We’re honored to collaborate with like-minded health systems and oncologists across the South Sound who center the needs of patients—none more so than our founder, Dr. Frank Senecal. For over 40 years, Dr. Senecal has provided expert, compassionate care, guiding patients and their families through some of life’s toughest moments.

Our commitment to patient-focused care drives everything we do—from sharing real patient stories to bringing groundbreaking clinical trials and innovative treatments to the South Sound. This ensures patients receive cutting-edge care while staying close to home, surrounded by family, community, and vital support systems.

With gratitude,

The South Sound CARE Foundation
