Important Information

CDC guidance now recommends that moderately to severely immunocompromised patients receive an additional (third) dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna). If you have undergone anti-cancer therapy in the past year, you are within 1 year of stem cell transplantation or are receiving medications that suppress your immune system, you are encouraged to obtain a third COVID-19 vaccination shot. If you received the Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccination, please consult your doctor regarding next steps. Find vaccination locations here.

If you are within 100 days of a stem cell transplantation, we do not recommend that you receive a COVID-19 vaccination until you are cleared by your care team to do so. If you are currently on a clinical research trial, please contact your clinical research team for more guidance. Please contact your care coordinator if you have additional questions about receiving an additional COVID-19 vaccine shot.

Cancer treatment at our hospital

Patients have access to a range of oncology services and the latest technologies to diagnose and treat cancer. We'll also connect you with an oncology nurse navigator and local support groups to help you through the treatment process following a diagnosis.

Bone cancer treatment

The goal of bone cancer care is to maximize your health using advanced surgical and reconstructive techniques. Oncologists at our facility evaluate many different types of disorders and manage orthopedic conditions for patients who may require specialized, multidisciplinary care.

Gastrointestinal cancer treatment

Your oncology team is dedicated to the specialized care of people with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. We use a multidisciplinary team approach to provide patient-focused care.

Liver cancer treatment

We offer traditional treatment methods for liver cancer, including surgical and nonsurgical options. We're also equipped to perform leading-edge microsphere therapy to treat metastatic liver cancer (cancer that spread to the liver from another area of the body), which is a particularly serious condition.

Lung cancer treatment

The lung cancer program at our hospital offers a minimally invasive procedure called electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB), which may aid with earlier diagnosis for patients with lung lesions. Specialists at our hospital also offer traditional options, such as low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans, to detect lung cancer.

Peritoneal cancer treatment

Peritoneal cancer is a disease affecting the tissue that lines the abdomen. This type of cancer may originate in the abdomen, or it may spread to this area from nearby organs (either digestive organs or reproductive organs). Patients with this rare disease may receive advanced chemotherapy treatment in addition to other surgical and nonsurgical methods.

Palliative care

A palliative care team will work closely with your physician to provide support and resources throughout your cancer diagnosis and treatment. Collaborating with trained physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers, chaplains, dietitians and rehabilitation therapists, you'll receive help with:

  • Managing physical symptoms
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Making decisions related to treatment plans and care goals
  • Advanced care planning, such as living wills or advanced directives
  • Coordination of care to rehabilitation or extended care facilities, hospice care, grief counseling and bereavement support
