Services We Offer
of
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, is the use of high doses of radiation to kill off cancer cells and cause tumors to shrink. In most cases, the radiation used is X-rays, although other types of radiation can be used. Radiation therapy is most often delivered externally, but can also be used internally.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
Blood Transfusions
A blood transfusion is a procedure in which whole blood or parts of blood are put into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. The blood may be donated by another person or it may have been taken from the patient and stored until needed.
Daily Intravenous Antibiotic Therapy
Daily intravenous antibiotics are antibiotics that are administered directly into a vein so that they can enter the bloodstream immediately.
Other IV Therapy Treatments/Procedures
IV (intravenous) treatments and procedures are any treatments that are delivered through the use of a catheter and needle, such as IV fluids for hydration and nutrition. Other IV treatments and procedures include the delivery of medications, such as antibiotics and antivirals, chemotherapy, anti-coagulation therapy, and blood component stimulating factor.
Cancer Support Groups
Cancer support groups are meetings for people with cancer and anyone affected by the disease. Even though people receive support from friends and family, the number one reason they join is to be with others who have similar cancer experiences.
Nutrition Assistance
Nutrition assistance is a program that is designed to ensure that low-income individuals, seniors, and families have access to nutritious foods. This increases food security and reduces hunger.
On-Site Laboratory Service
An on-site laboratory service is a lab that is located in a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility, rather than at a differnet location. This allows samples to be tested and the results to be avialable quickly, minimizing a patient's wait time for the results and treatment and reducing costs.
Palliative Care
Palliative care, also known as end-of-life care, is care that is provided to a patient with a terminal illness. This care is designed to reduce suffering and optimize the patient's quality of life by managing pain and symptoms.
Social Services
Social services are a range of public services that are offered by public and private organizations. These services are designed to provide communities with services such as education, health care, food assistance, subsidized housing, and police and fire services.

Conditions We Treat
of
Lymphoma
Lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. The lymphs system is made up of the lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, and thymus gland.
Leukemia
Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood. This cancer begins in the cells of the bone marrow, causing the cell to mutate into a type of leukemia cell. These leukemia cells then grow and mutate at a rapid rate, crowding out healthy cells.
Melanoma
Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that begins in the cells that control the pigment in the skin and can occur anywhere on the body.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is when breast cells become abnormal. These abnormal cells grow, divide, and create new cells that do not function normally.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer in which the DNA within some cells in the prostate mutate. These cells then grow rapidly, crowding out and destroying healthy cells. The cancer can then spread to other parts of the body.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer typically doesn’t secrete hormones and doesn’t cause obvious signs or symptoms. This makes it hard to diagnose early. For the majority of patients with the most common kind of pancreatic cancer - called exocrine pancreatic cancer - current treatments do not cure the cancer. As many as 49,000 Americans are diagnosed every year with pancreatic cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.
