Our American College of Surgeons approved program provides radiation therapy and  chemotherapy services to outpatients and inpatients. We also diagnose and  treat blood disorders and clotting disorders. Clients who are at risk of specifc cancers also have access to genetic counseling.

IMRT, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, brings improved outcomes to our patients. This state-of-the-art radiation therapy delivery system reduces the amount of radiation to healthy tissue and can increase the rate of tumor control while significantly reducing adverse side effects.

Patients are treated using a multidisciplinary approach including physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, radiation
therapists, chaplains, social workers and dietitians. Cancer patients also have access to symptom management and smoking cessation resources through the services of the two nurse practitioners.
