“Every patient’s story is unique, and every treatment plan should reflect that,” says Dr. Heun. “My goal is to combine the best science with compassionate care so that patients feel supported and empowered every step of the way.”
Dr. Heun’s clinical focus includes:
- Adult cancers and blood disorders
- Cancer immunotherapy
- Gastrointestinal malignancies
- Palliative care
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Heun has played a vital role in expanding access to innovative cancer treatment. He helped establish a Wisconsin site for the National Cancer Institute’s Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), making national cancer trials accessible for patients close to home. He also collaborated with the University of Chicago on ways to reduce the cost and side effects of effective cancer therapies.
When patients face a cancer diagnosis, they need more than medicine, they need a partner. Dr. Heun is that trusted advocate, offering care that is as personal as it is powerful. Southwest Health is honored to have Dr. Heun as part of its expert team, continuing its mission of creating a healthier southwest Wisconsin.
