Cancer Care

We believe oncology treatment starts with a focus on hope and healing.

Our approach to care

Our approach to cancer care begins with a team of board-certified physicians and highly skilled clinicians who actively collaborate on personalized treatment plans for patients. We work to help you overcome your diagnosis with evidence-based medicine and a personalized approach to treatment. Our ultimate goal is that every patient is supported on every step of their cancer journey with care that is focused on hope and healing. 

Centra’s Oncology Services continues to demonstrate a commitment to quality and safety, in addition to access and affordability, through its accreditation from programs including:

  • American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC)
  • National Accreditation Program from Breast Centers (NAPBC)
  • Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI)
  • Accreditation Program of Excellence (APEx)

Our goal at the Centra Alan B. Pearson Regional Cancer Center is to provide excellent outpatient cancer care. Due to the volume of patients we see on a daily basis, we encourage you to be on time or arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. We understand that sometimes circumstances can prohibit you being on time, however, we ask that you please call our office and inform us if you are going to be late. 

For Radiation Oncology appointments, call 434.200.1410 and for Hematology Oncology appointments, call 434.200.5925.
