The Comprehensive Cancer Center
Second Floor
Visits with your medical oncologist will take place on the second floor of the Comprehensive Cancer Center. Specially trained nurses administer chemotherapy, blood transfusions and intravenous medications to patients, in a private, comfortable setting.
Periodically during your therapy, you will need to have blood work done. Blood can be drawn in the labs on the first or second floor of the center. Your physician will indicate which tests are needed on the instruction sheet that you receive after each visit. It may also be helpful for you to ask the receptionist when you check in if your chart indicates whether or not you need a blood test prior to your visit or treatment. Some health insurance plans restrict where you may have your blood drawn. We will help you determine what your plan requires. It is also helpful if you bring the yellow instruction sheet from your previous visit with you.
The American Cancer Society's Patient Resource Center is also located on the second floor. Staffed by volunteers from the American Cancer Society, this room has a supply of reading materials and videos that will help you learn more about your illness and the community support that is available.
