Our cancer program has been accredited through the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer as a teaching facility since 2002 and offers care for pediatric and adult oncology and hematology patients. The hospital has a dedicated 18-bed inpatient unit with all private rooms with 4 HEPA-filtered rooms for immune compromised patients. Multidisciplinary tumor conferences are conducted weekly. A Lung Nodule Program was launched in April, 2009 to expedite follow-up for patients when a lung nodule is identified.
