MARION—OhioHealth Marion General Hospital has invested more than $20 million to open a new 24,000-square-foot comprehensive cancer center. The OhioHealth Marion Cancer Center is located on the main floor of the East Building of the hospital and is the only comprehensive cancer center in Marion, Morrow, Hardin, and Crawford Counties.
The cancer center will centralize all cancer services into one space that includes a lobby with a registration area, cancer physician offices, infusion services, radiation oncology (with upgraded scanning equipment), medical oncology and hematology, oncology rehab, precision medicine, surgery, retail space and more. Services such as patient navigation and support services will also be available and the hospital will offer new integrated care services such as massage, art therapy, and dry needling.
“Centralizing and growing cancer services in Marion means greater access to comprehensive cancer care for our patients close to home,” said Curt Gingrich, MD, president, Marion General Hospital. “We’re committed to bringing more enhanced, specialty care to areas like Marion and Morrow Counties and strengthening our commitment to being a regional referral center.”
“This work will also improve the hospital’s safety and patient outcomes by providing the ability to integrate future treatment updates.” He added, “And having all our cancer providers and teams in one space will allow for greater collaboration around patient care and greater convenience for our patients and their families. You shouldn’t have to travel far and wide for quality cancer care.”
