In 2019, the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands welcomed CHCC, an oncology service provider with cutting edge treatment options. The CHCC’s new center counts among its staff Dr. Peter Brett, an American oncologist with decades of experience in the field. Until recently, Dr. Peter Brett was the director of medical oncology at the Sutter Medical Group of the Redwoods in Santa Rosa, California.
The center will provide life-saving treatments to the island’s residents who previously had to go off-island for critical cancer treatments. In addition to acute treatment, the new center will provide follow-ups and continued care for patients who may develop comorbidities and other side-effects from the treatments.
Some specialty forms of care, such as radiation therapy and major surgical procedures, will still be unavailable to residents. However, a significant amount of patients will be receiving their care locally which is expected to reduce the impact of cancer on the island.
