A dosimetrist is a medical professional who works closely with your OHC radiation oncologist to design your radiation therapy plan that maximizes the chance for a good outcome while minimizing side effects and adverse reactions. Today we honor those OHC dosimetrists who work each day creating treatment plans for our radiation patients. Their vital role in treating patients is another way that OHC provides patients with everything they need to beat cancer. #Dosimetrist #MedicalProfessional #RadiationTherapy #CancerCare #PatientCare #NationalMedicalDosimetristsDay2024

Whether you are a patient currently receiving treatment, a caregiver of a patient, or post-treatment and feeling anxious about the future, there are many counseling services available to help you manage your mental health.
