Cancer Survivorship
As the number of cancer survivors continues to increase, so does the need for comprehensive educational and support services specifically tailored to cancer survivors.
Hoag provides an additional resource specific to female cancer survivors – Hoag’s Sexual Health and Survivorship Medicine program. Led by OB/GYN Michael Krychman, M.D., Hoag offers women an important resource for addressing one of the most common problems associated with cancer survivorship – sexual dysfunction.
In addition, Hoag Cancer Center provides an extensive complementary care program for all cancer survivors and their families. For more information, please call Hoag Cancer Center at 949/7-CANCER (722-6237).

Community Outreach
Hoag Cancer Center offers community education presentations on a variety of cancer prevention and early detection topics, such as sun safety, tobacco prevention and healthy eating.
Project Sun Safe is a unique program offered by Hoag Cancer Center that teaches youth and adults about the importance of protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. The program is conducted throughout the year and kicks into high gear during the summer months when individuals are often at the greatest risk for sun exposure.
Additionally, as part of our commitment to cancer awareness, Hoag Cancer Center offers free community skin cancer screenings in the spring and fall each year.
For more information, visit the Project Sun Safe page or to schedule a presentation, please contact our Community Education Coordinator at 949/764-8539.
