Should you need chemotherapy or other intravenous medications, you can get those in our on-site infusion suite. Our on-site infusion pharmacy ensures the medicines you need are available when you need them.

When you choose our clinic, you will benefit from your provider participating in regular multidisciplinary cancer conferences. These allow your provider to confer with other specialists across the Novant Health network to ensure your treatment plan is as comprehensive and personal as possible. You will also benefit from the many clinical trials Novant Health participates in, as well our hereditary cancer genetics clinic, which can help you identify cancer risks before they become larger concerns.

Throughout your treatment and afterwards, our team of nurse navigators will be there to see you through. They will make sure you have access to spiritual and emotional support services, as well as survivorship and rehabilitation services once your treatment is complete.
