We don't treat cancer.
We treat people with cancer.
St. Vincent's East Cancer Treatment Center is committed to providing a body, mind, and spirit approach when battling cancer. With high-tech treatments and a compassionate medical staff, you can expect a level of care that is uniquely St. Vincent's.
The Cancer Program at St. Vincent's East is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (ACoS COC) and the Joint Commission. The center is an active member of the Association of Community Cancer Centers.
