At the South Pointe Hospital Cancer Care Center, we care for the special needs of cancer patients with comprehensive and compassionate outpatient treatment, close to home. As a Cleveland Clinic Health System regional facility devoted to outpatient care, the center provides advanced cancer treatment in a setting designed specifically for cancer patients and their families. We offer our patients a private drive-up entrance, convenient parking, centrally located nursing station surrounded by comfortable exam rooms and a registry area.
A board-certified oncologist, a physician assistant, specially trained nurses, a pharmacist, a social worker, and dietician staff the center. The cancer program has a four-year accreditation by the Commission on Cancer for the American College of Surgeons, an honor granted to only 20 percent of the hospitals in the United States.
