Not long ago, a cancer diagnosis often meant giving up hope for a long, happy and productive life. Today, however, advances in research have changed that outlook. Many cancers once considered incurable are now being eradicated and groundbreaking treatments are proving to be more effective — with fewer and less severe side effects.
At the Bourland Cancer Center, you will have an expert team by your side in the fight against cancer. Our board-certified oncologists and cancer surgeons work alongside experienced nurses and clinicians who are dedicated to delivering exceptional care every day.
Our cancer center was specifically designed to meet the unique needs of cancer patients — ensuring convenient, comfortable care close to home so patients can focus on healing and recovery.
Also located within the cancer center, our oncology clinic provides evaluation and ongoing treatment for patients with cancer and a variety of blood disorders.
Chemotherapy is administered by oncology-certified nurse’s according to protocols approved by the provider, while also offering educational, emotional and supportive care. A board-certified hematologist-oncologist reviews each case to determine the need for chemotherapy, radiation or other cancer treatments, and personally oversees all therapy.
Additionally, Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare offers a monthly cancer support group to provide information and emotional support to patients and their families.
Our oncology and hematology specialists are recognized across central Missouri for their expertise, providing state-of-the-art treatment in a welcoming, close-to-home setting.
With the latest technology and advancements in research, our experienced team — including nurse navigators, skilled providers and support staff — guides patients through their cancer journey with customized treatment plans and compassionate care.
At GVMH, our Golden Standard of Cancer Care means access to leading cancer experts, personalized treatment and the latest medical technologies — all delivered with compassion, and all close to home.
