How We Work

When you give to Shaw Cancer Center, you are doing much more than supporting nationally recognized cancer care—you’re funding a spirit of survival that helps our patients conquer cancer and thrive.

Your donation makes possible:

• Top oncology specialists: Vail Health continually attracts the most qualified, versatile oncologists in the world.
• Highest-quality cancer treatment: Being an independent health care network allows us to always use the very best treatment options.
• Most advanced technology: Shaw boasts the most state-of-the-art imaging and surgical technology available today.
• State-of-the-art facilities: Our facilities, set in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains, are world-class.
• Sonnenalp Breast Center: Our breast cancer patients have a much higher survival rate than the national average due to our leading-edge technology and highly adept team.
• Spirit of Survival Wellness Programs: We believe in thriving, not just surviving. That is why we offer patients fitness classes, emotional counseling, nutrition consults, and a range of activities – all free of charge.
