Lenoir Memorial Cancer Center

Photo of the Lenoir Memorial Cancer CenterThe last thing a cancer patient should have to worry about is having to drive an hour or more to receive treatments. The Lenoir Memorial Cancer Center provides area cancer patients with treatment and support services that are very close to home. Outpatient radiation therapy is provided through the center as well as a variety of support services.  We pride ourselves in our technology and our ability to keep pace with the rapid changes in cancer care.

A board certified radiation oncologist, certified radiation therapists and skilled oncology certified nurses are part of the center’s caring staff. A registered dietitian also works at the center and assists patients with their nutritional needs. On-site counseling is provided by a social worker who helps patients and their families cope with the diagnosis, treatment and recovery, and also shares information regarding financial assistance. In some cases, the center is able to provide help to patients who need transportation to and from their treatments. The Lenoir Memorial Cancer Center is located across from the hospital's emergency entrance at 703 Doctors Drive.
