Our physicians would like you to return to Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center for at least one follow up appointment. This gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns that you may have post treatment. If there are any treatment-related side effects, our physicians can monitor progress and ensure that any issues are addressed. It also gives us the opportunity to prescribe further baseline tests to monitor your condition. If you so choose, our physicians can send monitoring recommendations to your local physician. Most of our patients enjoy returning to our facility for follow up to see staff members and to reunite with friends in their home away from home.

Patient Surveys

Patient surveys are mailed to former patients from NRC Picker, an organization that surveys patients nationally on their healthcare experience. We ask all patients (or their caregivers) to participate in the survey. Information received will help us to better meet the needs of our patients.
