In the spring of 1997, St. Catherine Hospital opened The Cancer Center at a cost of $4.5 million. The free-standing center features diagnostic PET Scan services, dual energy linear accelerator, a simulator for pre-treatment testing and a 3-D treatment planning program utilizing the latest in computer technology to aid in defining treatment areas while avoiding harm to at-risk organs.

This technology improves tumor control, reduces the side effects due to better organ visualization, and enhances treatment techniques. Additionally, we offer isotope therapy treatment along with chemotherapy and on-site examination rooms.

In connection with the patient therapy plan is multi-disciplinary teamwork including spiritual, mental, nutritional, and rehabilitative services. Our multidisciplinary team works together to provide quality care for the whole person, body, mind and spirit.
