The Center for Cancer Care & Research’s team consists of Watson Clinic, Clark & Daughtrey Medical Group and independent physicians—united in the fight against cancer:

 
Our talented
and dedicated cancer specialists are committed to working with your physician to assure you the best care and highest quality treatment with the sole purpose to ensure a comforted patient and an overall healthier community.

The Center is the area's only physician-driven cancer center, meaning that doctors - not administrators - are responsible for all patient care issues.  
Additionally, to strengthen our services, provide specialized treatment and access to the most advanced clinical trials, we have formed an affiliation with the world-renowned H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, bringing a new dimension of cancer care to Polk County.
