Campbell County Health is proud to provide comprehensive Cancer Care right
here in Campbell County, Wyoming
The Heptner Cancer Center at Campbell County Memorial Hospital provides
advanced facilities and comprehensive treatment programs including Chemotherapy
and Radiation Therapy for patients in Gillette and northeast Wyoming.
After you receive a diagnosis of cancer from your medical doctor or surgeon,
you are referred to the physicians at the Heptner Cancer Center, where
you collaborate with other health professionals to develop an individualized
treatment plan. The treatment plan is used to implement the most effective
treatment possible. CCH is pleased to offer advanced technology including
a linear accelerator that zeros in on cancer and breaks up and destroys
tumor cells. The center offers the latest chemotherapy medicines in its
infusion center as well as targeted therapies that alter specific chemicals
within cancer cells.
CCH's Cancer Care team is here for you and your family; to walk beside
you. CCH takes a team approach and offers patients access to specially-trained
oncology and radiation nurses and doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists,
palliative care specialists, and social workers. Treatment falls into
these categories:
The type of cancer, the stage it is in, and the patient's physical condition
are all considered when developing a treatment plan. We also offer infusion
therapies/treatment in the
Infusion Center, which offers IV antibiotics, hydration, Remicade infusions, iron deficiency
therapy, and many others.
