The Infusion Center

The Hematology/Oncology Division provides care for adult patients with all types of cancer, such as breast, lung, stomach, bowel, prostate, uterus and cervix, as well as patients with hematological malignancies, such as leukemia, lymphomas and multiple myeloma.

The division also provides care for patients with benign hematological conditions, such as anemia, bleeding and coagulation problems.

The division is staffed by board-certified oncology and hematology physicians as well as a multidisciplinary team that includes a clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, clinical oncology pharmacist, certified oncology nurses, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, patient navigators and a cancer information and program coordinator.
