This recognition is based on Dexcomm employee nominations acknowledging an organization that has exemplified the Dexcomm Core Values and was selected by a company consensus.

"We couldn’t be prouder to name the Cancer Center of Acadiana at Lafayette General as the first recipient of our Compassion Award,” says Jamey Hopper, President of the Carencro-based Dexcomm. "Our staff appreciates Cancer Center of Acadiana at Lafayette General for their commitment to the health and well-being of the Acadiana community. As a provider of messaging services, we’re especially grateful for the opportunity to aid in this commitment by helping CCA stay connected to the patients for whom they care so dearly.”

The Cancer Center of Acadiana, in conjunction with Lafayette General Medical Center, offers a full complement of effective treatment therapies, from chemotherapy to CyberKnife^®radiosurgery and all other forms of radiotherapy, including image-guided radiation therapy. The staff includes a group of board-certified oncologists, a radiation therapist and an entire support team that guides the patient from diagnosis to treatment and into survivorship.

"As our slogan says, we are ‘not a normal cancer center,’” says Craig Ortego, Vice President of Cancer Services. "What sets us apart, aside from our treatments and the skills of our oncologists, is that the patient is truly at the center of everything we do.”
