Patients are often in the Infusion Center for several hours due to their treatment process. Because of this, their comfort is a top priority. Our updated center includes 6 patient bays. Care is private and each patient bay includes comfortable chairs, personal televisions, room for a loved one to sit with the patient, and marbled glass walls. A separate entrance on the south side of the hospital keeps patients in a more isolated condition.

The Cancer Center provides patients with a broad range of services and treatments including:

Chemotherapy
Radiation Therapy
