Cancer Service
Oncologists, physicians who diagnose and treat cancer patients,
come to Person

Hospital offers an on-site chemotherapy room. Physicians from
any where in the country can write the order for chemo treatment
and patients can receive therapy in the comfort of their own
county. Each chemo patient has access to his own personal
television or audio equipment and tapes. In addition to caring
and qualified nurses, trained volunteers are present to assist
the patient and his/her family in whatever way possible.
Appointments require a physician referral/order and may
