HOMER WHITHORN
CANCER SURVIVOR

Homer Whithorn knows what he likes . He likes to work with computers – in fact, he's a real computer enthusiast. He places fishing high on his list of favorite hobbies. Homer places security high on another list – his priority list for health care . Just as security was an important part of the job he worked at the Kansas Army Ammunitions plant, it continues to be an important issue for Homer and his wife Daisy during retired life . They spent a great deal of time together seeking a place to get quality treatment for his chronic leukemia. And they found the health care security they were looking for right in their own back yard.

They found The Cancer Center of Kansas. Working with patients to secure the individualized care needed during each treatment process is a high priority for the staff of The Cancer Center. Its location at Labette Health, in the Whithorns' home community of Parsons, gives the couple access to specialized care which would be difficult for them to manage if they had to travel very far.

"I like the fact that I can get my treatments in Parsons instead of having to drive to Wichita. Dr. Nubitt shows great concern every time we meet with him. He is very thorough and friendly."
