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 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.

CCH is pleased to offer advanced technology, including a linear accelerator that zeros in on cancer and breaks up and destroys tumor cells.

Our 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, doctors, nutritionists, physical and occupational therapists, palliative care specialists, and social workers.
