When the diagnosis is cancer, you want the best care available. The best physicians, the best equipment, the best facility — and a staff who recognizes your individual needs.
Not only was the Nash Cancer Treatment Center recently ranked in the top tier of community cancer treatment centers nationwide, but our patient surveys ranked it as the number one hospital department in 2004 for patient satisfaction and customer service. We are proud to provide this world-class care, close to home.
The Nash Cancer Treatment Center offers intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). IMRT is one of the latest advances in radiation therapy, allowing doctors to send a higher dose of radiation to a tumor while protecting healthy tissue. IMRT is a new version of three-dimensional radiation therapy, which aims radiation beams from several directions to match the shape of the tumor.
The Nash Cancer Treatment Center provides a complete complement of care tailored to each individual’s needs. In addition to exceptional medical care, the center offers services including:
- Nutritional information including recipes designed to strengthen the body and fight fatigue that often accompanies cancer treatment
- Educational materials, including information on local support groups
- Access to spiritual support through the Nash Health Care Systems Pastoral Care Department
- Pain management strategies — including therapeutic massage
- Free cancer screenings
The physical fight against cancer is only half the battle. Education equals power, and we have extensive contacts for local support groups, as well as services offered by the American Cancer Society.
The Nash Cancer Treatment Center recently received a Three-Year Approval with Commendation from the American College of Surgeons, earning four honors for health care excellence. The approval is the result of an intensive accreditation process and on-site survey by the Commission on Cancer program of the American College of Surgeons.
Educational materials and videos are available through our Cancer Resource Center. Materials include information on different types of cancer, early detection, support groups, cosmetic and hair care information. In addition, nutritional information and recipes are available. Call 1-866-478-3471.
