The Valley Health Cancer Center at Winchester Medical Center is home to our nationally accredited cancer program that offers advanced technology, a team approach to treatment, and support for patients and their families. Each cancer diagnosis is as unique as the patient facing this new challenge. We treat the whole person: physical, emotional, and spiritual. The Cancer Center brings these elements together in a welcoming destination for cancer care.
Caring for more than 1,300 newly diagnosed cancer patients each year, we are committed to providing the best care possible with the most current technology supporting the expertise of our team of oncology physicians and other cancer care professionals.
Our services include:
The Valley Health Cancer Center has earned accreditation from the Commission on Cancer (CoC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. As a CoC-accredited facility, our center takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires consultation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, and other cancer specialists. This multidisciplinary partnership results in improved patient care.
Our center has been accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer since 2021, when we were the first in the tri-state region to earn this accreditation. Click here to learn more.
