Cancer Care at Midtown Location
Regional One Health and West Cancer Center and Research Institute have partnered to bring exciting changes to the Midtown cancer center. Effective March 1, 2021, the West Cancer Center Midtown location has transitioned to a hospital outpatient department of Regional One Health.
The new Regional One Health Cancer Center, located at 1588 Union Avenue, will continue to provide the exceptional level of care the patients and community have experienced at this location under West Cancer Center. Patients at this location will continue to see the same providers through an agreement between Regional One Health and West Cancer Center.
