Planetree Certification: Putting Patients at the Center of Cancer Care

At Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute, our dedication to delivering world-class treatment never overshadows our commitment to the real people, the real families and the real lives touched by our care.

From our focus on family involvement to our efforts in integrative wellness, we put patients at the center of everything we do.

We’re proud to be the nation’s only cancer network awarded Gold Certification for Excellence in Person-Centered Care by Planetree International.

The care that matters most to patients

To earn the Planetree certification, we excelled across more than 50 criteria of patient-centered care – qualities that reflect what patients and clinicians say matters most to them.

• We empower physicians and nurses to drive patient-centered processes that improve clinical care at our more than 25 locations.
• We address every aspect of our patients’ well-being, offering healing art programs, nutrition workshops, and integrative therapies like yoga and Tai chi.
• We focus on enhancing our patients’ quality of life after cancer, offering robust survivorship programs.
• We give patients and families a voice through our specially created Patient and Family Advisory Council.
• We support our community’s health through a variety of education and outreach efforts.

Every program, policy and offering is backed by the full support, collaboration and commitment of our leadership team, oncologists and care providers – a key component driving our success.
