The St. Francis cancer treatment Center has served central Nebraska since 1994 and is accredited by the commission on cancer from the american college of surgeons with commendation for excelling in every aspect of cancer care. Here, patients have access to Medical and radiation oncology treatment, a dedicated pharmacy, clinical trials, and a cancer rehabilitation team all in one location - convenience not typically found in other cancer centers. In addition, the highly skilled team provides certified genetics counseling, tobacco cessation counseling, nurse navigation, survivorship services, an educational library, support groups, and educational seminars.
