Filled with the newest technology, the Cancer Care Center at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has three floors completely dedicated to cancer care. We are recognized, with commendation, as a community cancer center by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. And we're an active member in good standing, with full rights and privileges, of the Association of Community Cancer Centers. We are ready and waiting to give you all the advantages of top cancer care right here at home.
Located in a tranquil setting, our Cancer Care Center is designed to relax you and make you feel comfortable during every phase of treatment. Chemotherapy suites have a serene view of the Nanticoke River.
