Located on the west side of the Medical Center’s main campus in New Bern, the three-story Cancer Center will offer radiation oncology, medical oncology, nutrition services, social worker and psychological support services, and a palliative care and survivorship program, among other services.

The first floor features a radiation oncology clinic and treatment areas, an infusion suite with six semi-private infusion bays and two private rooms, a specialty pharmacy, a cafe, a boutique with oncology-related supplies, group support session rooms, and palliative care. The Cancer Center’s second floor includes a medical oncology clinic with 12 exam rooms and six patient assessment bays, an infusion suite with both semi-private and private rooms, and a chemotherapy mixing pharmacy. The third floor is devoted to administration offices and an education department with classrooms and computer labs.

According to Brandy Popp, CarolinaEast Health System public relations and outreach manager, the Cancer Center will begin receiving patients on Monday, Jan. 20. A new $13 million diagnostic center is also nearing completion adjacent to the Cancer Center to facilitate efficient imaging services related to cancer 

prevention, treatment and diagnosis. UNC Health System will collaborate to provide access to clinical trials, outreach, and telehealth.
