Hematology-Oncology

At Pulaski Memorial Hospital, our cancer treatment program is not just about medical care but also about providing a familiar and comfortable environment for our patients. We are your local support system, here to guide you through your journey with compassion and understanding.

Patients often feel distressed after a cancer diagnosis. When you’re battling cancer, one of your greatest concerns is about being able to maintain your daily routine. The PMH outpatient chemotherapy suite allows patients to carry on with their everyday lives. Patients can have their chemo right here at PMH even if their oncologist is in another area, so no driving for hours to get to and from your appointments.

Chemotherapy nurses in the PMH Oncology Unit work closely with oncologists/hematologists who are on-site nine times a month to provide high-quality care for our patients and their families during the course of treatment. Nurses help evaluate the patient before treatment begins, explain possible side effects they may experience during treatment, and explain how to manage them. In addition, they assess how patients are doing throughout treatment and help them cope with any changes they may be experiencing. They also provide patients and their families with support, education, and resources. Nurses are crucial in educating patients about treatments, side effects, managing expectations, etc.

The caring and compassionate staff at PMH understands your fears. They can help you through the process and answer all your questions. When you select PMH you become part of a family…a cancer treatment family that offers extensive support and knowledge to help you and your loved ones cope with and treat the cancer.
