Oncology Services
Harrison's Oncology Services—long recognized as
a Center of Excellence—provides the full range of standard cancer
treatments with the newest drug protocols, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and chemotherapy regimens. Our Radiation Oncology Center is equipped with a linear accelerator, which allows for more precise radiation therapy with improved rates of success.
Our 22-bed oncology inpatient unit was designed with comfort in mind, and is decorated in rich woods and warm colors. It compliments our Radiation Oncology Center, where waterfalls, skylights, music, an education center and a garden are among the large and small comforts.
Harrison's cancer program has been accredited by the American College of Surgeon's Commission on Cancer as a community hospital comprehensive cancer program for more than 20 years. Only one in four American hospitals receives approval by the 70-year-old commission, which establishes national standards and monitors progress in the areas of treatment, educational programs, and a cancer registry.
Harrison takes part in cancer registry programs at the state and national levels: the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Surveillance System; the Washington State Cancer Registry; and the National Cancer Database.
