Let Us Be Your Link to a Better Life

Whether you or someone you care about is involved in diagnostic testing or in treatment, the very thought of cancer is daunting to all people regardless of age or state of health.

At the Joan Knechel Cancer Center, our first priority is making you as comfortable as possible, beginning the moment you come through our doors. From the minute you enter our serene reception and family waiting areas, you will notice that we have paid special attention to every detail with you in mind.

For both diagnostic testing and treatment patients, you will be invited to enter a private dressing room complete with wooden lockers and to change into a comfortable and luxurious, 100% cotton waffle robe. Our warm and friendly staff will guide you through your appointment and seek to put you at ease as much as possible. You have enough on your mind, we want you to relax and let us take care of you.
