Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center opens in January
The
Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center,
which offers advanced
linear accelerator technology and other state‑of‑the‑art diagnostic
and treatment options, officially opened to patients on January 16.
Thanks to the generosity of the
Edwards family, patients from our area and beyond can find
state-of-the art cancer care right here at home.
Within the Center is the James F.
Edwards Adult Cancer Clinic and the Joan C. Edwards Children's
Cancer Clinic.
The Center was established through
a strong partnership with the two leading healthcare providers in
the area:
Cabell Huntington Hospital and
Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. This
partnership offers patients access to experienced and respected
physicians, radiologists and surgeons, a skilled and caring nursing
staff and the most current protocols for cancer diagnosis, treatment
and care. In our modern and attractive facility, patients have
access to a full range of diagnosis and treatment services,
including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, laboratory testing,
clinical trials and support services.
At
the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center, patients will experience
compassionate and professional medical care from a staff dedicated
to providing care that is friendly, efficient, and patient centered.
Because of a team approach, patients are offered the services of a
full spectrum of caregivers, including dietitians, social workers,
chaplains and rehabilitation specialists.
Specialized services include a
Breast Cancer Center, Pediatric Oncology, Gynecologic Oncology,
Radiation Oncology and Surgical Oncology.
