01. History

History of Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Phoenix

Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) was founded in memory of Mary Brown Stephenson, who lost her battle with cancer in 1982. Stephenson’s son, a merchant banker named Richard J. Stephenson, had been disappointed by the treatment options presented to his mother. He felt that cancer hospitals, even those regarded as the best in the world, were focused too heavily on the clinical and technical aspects of the disease, often overlooking the individual needs of the patient.

In response, Richard J. Stephenson brought together a group of cancer doctors and founded a hospital with a different mission: to deliver “whole-person cancer treatment” in a nurturing environment. The result was Cancer Treatment Centers of America. The first center, located in Zion, Illinois, opened its doors in 1988. Since then, additional locations have opened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in Goodyear, Arizona. The Western Regional Medical Center is the newest CTCA facility, and has been treating patients since December 29, 2008. Today, it is known as The Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), Phoenix.
