Expert Cancer Care, Close to Home
At Columbus Regional Health’s Cancer Center, we are passionate about providing our patients with the latest advancements in treatment options close to home, so patients have the support of friends and family nearby.
In most cases, our multidisciplinary approach to cancer care allows us to provide all cancer treatments in one convenient location, including surgery, systemic therapy, and radiation therapy.
We care about our patients and their family members and are here to provide the emotional and physical support they need throughout their cancer journey.
Cancer Screening Saves Lives
Early detection through regular cancer screening can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Our Cancer Center offers screening and diagnostic services for several types of cancer, including breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers. For breast health, we provide advanced mammography and personalized breast care. Low-dose CT scans help detect lung cancer at its earliest stages, while prostate and colorectal screenings aid in identifying cancers before symptoms appear.

How We Compare
As specialists in our field, we have long been focused on studying and achieving the best results possible when it comes to cancer care. Treatment at our facility rivals any you might find in a larger metropolitan area, but gives you the advantage of having the people who love and support you close at hand. Staying close to home can also reduce the burden for you that repeated travel can become during a trying time. In short, we’re state-of-the-art and easy to get to.
The continuous care model we employ means that a single team of doctors and healthcare personnel work with a patient throughout the entire treatment and recovery process.
Free valet parking is available for our patients and visitors when they arrive at the main hospital entrance at 2400 East 17th Street. It’s a small thing we can do to make things a little easier for you.
