Saint Joseph Opens Cancer Center in Bardstown |
---|
Bardstown, KY |
Saint Joseph Health System opened the Flaget Cancer Center at Flaget Memorial Hospital on August 5. Flaget Cancer Center is the first full-service cancer center in the county, removing the need for local residents to travel out of town for radiation cancer care. The center is equipped with a digital linear accelerator that allows clinicians to deliver radiation treatment precisely to the site of a tumor. The Flaget Cancer Center also includes private chemotherapy rooms and patient education areas in a calming setting that uses natural colors and materials.
