SAINT JOHN'S CANCER CENTER

At Saint John’s Cancer Center, we approach cancer diagnosis and treatment in a holistic way with care of the body mind and spirit.  People might be surprised to find world class cancer services in a community the size of Anderson.  Yet, in this city of 57,000, Saint John’s Health System has assembled the latest technology and services for the detection and treatment of cancer.  This past year, we were one of only a few in the country to begin offering the newest 5-day treatment for breast cancer, Mammosite and SAVI.  We are in the top 5% of hospitals our size nationwide for research through Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. 

Saint John’s Health System committed to care for everyone, regardless of ability to pay.  Free mammograms, pap tests and osteoporosis screenings are provided for women who qualify financially through Marie’s Hope. 

Saint John's has been recognized for excellence in cancer care by earning accreditation from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer.

Stereotactic radiosurgery is a precise, targeted method of radiation therapy. It is not, technically, a surgery. It is a method of delivering a high dose of targeted radiotherapy in a single dose. It's an alternative to invasive surgery typically used for tumors on the brain and spine, but has other uses as well. It's main benefit is the fact that it reduces the exposure of the surrounding highly sensitive areas to radiation.  If you need radiosurgery for the brain, please visit St.Vincent Oncology Center in Indianapolis, our sister-hospital through St.Vincent Health. 

Cancer is so limited, and we are so much stronger for our fight against it.
