Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital has been influential in setting the pace for cancer management in the Mid-Ohio Valley for more than 30 years.  Our designation as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer is reflective of our commitment to provide the finest in cancer care.

The Community Comprehensive Cancer Center involves a team approach to cancer treatment and prevention.  Care is provided by health professionals from a wide range of disciplines, contributing to each patient's individualized plan of treatment.  The cancer program includes the Department of Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology Services, Ambulatory Infusion Center, Oncology Support Services, and Inpatient Oncology Care.  A full range of treatment options are available to patients, including the opportunity to participate in national clinical trial studies.

Patient and family support is also an integral component of every patient's treatment program.  Ongoing education, in addition to physical examinations during treatment, helps allow patients and their families deal with all of the issues surrounding the management of the disease and treatment.

The Community Comprehensive Cancer Center staff does everything possible to assist patients in continuing a normal daily routine of work and recreation.  As much as possible, scheduling and treatment plans are designed on an outpatient basis to allow patients to receive treatment with limited disruption of their normal lifestyle.  In addition, support group programs such as "New Horizons" and "Bridges of Hope" offer informational and emotional support to patients and their families.  For more information about these groups, please call Marilyn McClure at 424-2842 or e-mail her at mmcclure@ccmh.org
