EFFINGHAM HEALTH SYSTEM FOUNDATION

THE NEED
A cancer diagnosis is difficult enough, but traveling for hours to receive treatment can pose a seemingly insurmountable challenge for patients and their families. The Effingham Cancer Care Center, which opened in 2017, is already outgrowing its current location.
THE VISION
As demand for cancer care closer to home continues to increase, and the future of cancer care evolves, Effingham Cancer Care Center will respond. We see the opportunity not only to meet the demand for increased outpatient visits and infusions but to provide a broad range of healthcare and support services. These services can help improve the journey for our oncology and hematology patients—and their families.
THE IMPACT
This is what the Future of Cancer Care Close to Home can look like.
- Accommodates 13% projected population growth by 2025
- Continues to attract top specialists in oncology and hematology to practice Closer to Home.
- Cancer care Close to Home reduces travel time, making care more convenient for patients and their families
- Allows patients more time to focus on healing
