Our hope is for you, your family and support team to feel as comfortable as possible from the moment you step foot in a CARTI facility.
When you arrive on your first day, the first thing you will do is check in at the front desk. Of course, we'll be expecting you and the receptionist may have some paperwork for you to fill out. We'll let your radiation therapy team know that you've arrived, making you feel at home in our comfortable lobby until you've been called. If you haven't been called within 20 minutes of your scheduled appointment time, please tell the receptionist and we will work quickly to get your day started.
While you wait, free cancer resource and educational materials are available for you to take home. In addition, CARTI's patient education video is available for viewing on a portable DVD player, or you can watch it online before your visit. The video explains what to expect at each point during radiation therapy treatment.
You’ll also be given a brochure titled "Introduction to Radiation Therapy" that walks you through your treatment, as well as a patient information packet that includes information about CARTI and the services we have available.
