When you hear the word cancer in a diagnosis, your first plan of action might be to delve into the latest research on treating the disease, but studying medical information can be a lengthy and complicated process.

HCA Midwest Health is part of the Sarah Cannon Cancer Network That connects us to a research network that has been conducting community-based clinical trials for more than 20 years, and has been a clinical trial leader in approximately 80 percent of approved cancer therapies over the last 10 years.

Through our network, we stay abreast of the latest research. Our goal is to focus on treating our patients with the best care for their disease and offering the newest standards when recommending care plans.

Our patients have the options to get the best treatment for their condition and also to have access to clinical trials that may help their condition or advance the understanding of their disease.
