Only Proton Therapy Treatment Center in East TN

Provision CARES Proton Therapy Knoxville is the only proton therapy treatment center in East Tennessee. We feature one of the world’s most advanced cancer treatments.

More cancer patients are choosing proton therapy because it:

PRECISELY TARGETS THE TUMOR
DECREASES THE RISK OF SIDE EFFECTS
AVOIDS UNNECESSARY RADIATION

The Provision Difference in Cancer Care

Our goal is to provide unmatched cancer care by focusing on the needs of the patient. Provision’s Patient-First approach includes unique solutions to many common concerns of cancer patients:

TIMELY APPOINTMENTS

Cancer won’t wait, and neither will we. COVID-19 has caused delays in cancer care for many patients, including screenings, biopsies, surgeries and other treatments. We believe timely care is critical for cancer patients. To begin moving forward with your care, please call and speak with one of our Cancer Care Experts to determine if proton therapy may be right for you. We are ready to answer your questions and schedule you for a consultation with a board-certified radiation oncologist at our proton therapy location. Our consultations can be in-person or through telehealth, allowing you to speak with a physician from the comfort and safety of your own home.

PRIORITIZED SAFETY

Safety is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, especially people with cancer. Cancer patients who are currently undergoing chemotherapy, or other treatments that weaken their immune system, are generally more vulnerable to illness, including the coronavirus. Provision has implemented many preventative measures at our proton therapy treatment centers to protect the health and safety of our patients.

  • If you are recently diagnosed:
    • Our Cancer Care Experts can answer questions about your diagnosis over the phone
    • We offer telehealth consultations and help you through each step of the process
    • We offer in-person consultations, based on physician recommendation
  • We are a stand-alone proton therapy treatment center, not a busy hospital
    • Our patients can avoid exposure to other illnesses
    • Social distancing is made easier since there are fewer people on our campus
  • We meet or exceed CDC and local health department safety guidelines:
    • Pre-entry screenings for patients, employees and visitors
    • Only one visitor per patient is allowed to enter the facility
    • No Touch Entry: Automatic doors that sense your approach
    • Increased access to soap and hand sanitizer
    • Non-clinical employees have work-from-home capability, limiting the number of people at our center
CULTURE OF CARE

Provision CARES Proton Therapy Knoxville takes pride in our Culture of CARE, which provides an experience designed to bring comfort and peace of mind to our patients and families. We make every effort to create a non-clinical environment whenever possible. Our proton therapy treatment center is located on a beautiful, spacious campus and provides unique benefits not normally found at other medical campuses or hospitals.

  • Open parking lot, no parking garage
    • No stairs or elevators
    • Parking is on same level as entry, with a convenient covered drop-off area
  • Dowell Springs campus includes walking trails and water features
    • Environmentally friendly and peaceful
    • Non-clinical setting

Proton Ambassadors

Provision CARES Proton Therapy Knoxville formed the original Proton Ambassador Program in November 2012, with over sixty enthusiastic former proton therapy patients in the East Tennessee area, who had been treated at other proton centers domestically and globally. These former patients helped shape patient programs and many other things that would help future patients treated at Provision CARES Proton Therapy Knoxville, and the Provision CARES Cancer Network. Their genuine passion to help other patients was the driving force to the development of the program, which thrives at over 800 former proton patients today. Ambassadors volunteer to educate others, advocate for others, and most importantly, help those who have been recently diagnosed with cancer.
