 The
Cancer Center provides cancer patients and their families
the best possible care during what may be anyone’s
most difficult health challenge.
The center brings all of the elements of cancer care under
one roof, including outpatient radiation therapy, outpatient
chemotherapy, inpatient hospitalization and an outstanding
array of support facilities and programs. The convenience
of coming to one place for all aspects of cancer care is
something that our patients find invaluable.
The center is designed with cancer patients and their families
in mind—not only providing the latest in technologies,
but also ensuring an environment that promotes healing and
wellness. The center’s 18 inpatient beds are in oversized
rooms that include kitchens and overnight accommodations
for patients’ families. Patients undergoing treatment
can also move about the facility and visit the garden, the
labyrinth, or their balcony to enjoy fresh air. And, to
aid with information gathering, a library is available to
assist visitors with Internet access and other resources
to research any disease.
A tremendous environment for healing is not the only outstanding
feature of the Cancer Center. Some of the world’s
latest technologies are offered at the Center, including
advanced imaging technologies that assist in earlier detection
of cancers and provide better definition of the location
and sizes of tumors, such as:
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
• Intensity Modulated Radiation Treatment (IMRT)
• High Dose Radiation (HDR)
The Cancer Center has also formed an alliance with one of
the top 40 cancer centers in the country in the Comprehensive
Cancer Center at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical
Center. This alliance brings access to the physicians and
resources of Wake Forest University to patients of The High
Point Regional health System’s Cancer Center.
 The
Cancer Center’s wonderful facility and high-tech treatment
capabilities are impressive, but there is one thing that’s
even more important to our patients and their families,
and that is the people who provide cancer care in the center.
Our physicians, our award-winning nurses, and every support
person in the center display a level of compassion that
makes High Point Regional one of only 289 Magnet Healthcare
Organizations nationwide. From the nurse who holds a patient’s
hand to the housekeeper who goes the extra mile, the staff
of the Cancer Center truly makes this place of healing unique.
