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
caner 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 patient, 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 outpatients 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
