An academic cardio-oncology program that was established in partnership with a cancer center, with a focus on multidisciplinary collaboration, whole person care, and optimized patient outcomes. The program provides comprehensive cancer care, addressing all medical and supportive care needs, through a team of experts, including cardio-oncologists, vascular oncologists, specialists in advanced heart failure and infiltrative heart disease, a cardio-oncology pharmacist, a cardio-oncology administrative coordinator, and nurse practitioners. The cardio-oncology team works in close collaboration with the oncology team, with direct and efficient communication established through a cardio-oncology hotline and an encrypted designated email address. This enables real-time updates on the status and management of cardio-oncology patients. Overall, the program prioritizes the needs of the whole person, recognizing the complex interplay between cancer and cardiovascular health, and seeks to optimize patient outcomes through a collaborative, patient-centered approach
