WHO WE ARE

The Puyallup Tribe of Indians established Salish Cancer Center in April 2015 with the vision to provide integrative cancer care to all cancer patients in the community. Since then, Salish Cancer Center has provided a supportive journey for everyone touched by cancer, including patients’ families and caregivers.

Offering patients up-to-date conventional oncology, naturopathic oncology, acupuncture, social work and traditional Native healing services, Salish Cancer Center understands every patient is unique and needs personalized care. With a highly experienced multidisciplinary team, Salish Cancer Center treats patients of all cancer types.

PARTNER WITH US

Many patients find themselves in financial distress due to out-of-pocket expenses relating to specialist appointments, labs and testing, imaging scans, medications, treatments and the transportation required to get the care they need. Because of this, some patients will opt to not seek the care or necessary lifesaving treatments needed to win the battle.

To relieve some of the financial burden, Salish Cancer Center established a Patient Financial Assistance Fund. The 2025 Giving Hope Gala is the third annual fundraiser to raise awareness and funds. Our goal is to infuse the PFAF with funds that will assist in relieving the financial burden to patients, allowing for the best possible care.

Please consider one of these sponsorship opportunities and join us in this effort to offer relief to our patients.
