Oncology & Hematology

Our Cancer Center was specifically designed to meet the needs of cancer patients to ensure the most convenient and comfortable care, close to home, so patients can focus on healing and recovery.

Through our partnership with Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute and HCA Midwest Health providers, Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare provides its patients access to integrated cancer services customized to their needs including convenient access to cancer experts, leading-edge cancer technology and cancer support groups.
