Methodist Health
Hematology, Oncology & Infusion Services
As an affiliate of the UK Markey Cancer Center, this clinic offers the local community the latest practices in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers and blood disorders in patients close to home. Having one location providing both physician visits and infusion therapy increases the convenience for patients.
The former Pediatrics suite was renovated to make room for the new Hematology and Oncology exam rooms and associated waiting area and offices. Infusion Services is also located in the suite where registered nurses administer chemotherapy and biotherapy. The 11 bays offer recliners and flat screen televisions in a warm environment to increase patient comfort while receiving treatment. Two private rooms are available for patients requiring lengthy sessions or more privacy.
The opening of this combined clinic and infusion therapy has contributed to enhancing the continuity of care for cancer patients.
