Cancer Treatment
Your One Source for Health
At Medical Center Hospital, we are proud to offer innovative, compassionate, patient-centered cancer care. Through various services such as our Patient Navigation Program, we assist our cancer patients and their loved ones with treatment, support, education, and expert care. Cancer treatment varies depending on your cancer type and stage but generally involves a customized combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy.
The Hope House
We understand it can be very difficult for patients to travel home after cancer treatment. For this reason, The West Texas Gifts of Hope, along with various community partners, recently constructed the Hope House. This beautiful 4-bedroom home is available to patients traveling to Odessa for cancer treatment. It is their desire to provide a loving, warm environment that provides comfort and assurance to cancer patients during a very painful and difficult time in their lives.
Our Partnership with West Texas Cancer Center
Medical Center Hospital and Texas Oncology joined forces to form a partnership in the war on cancer. The Grand Opening Celebration was held on January 11, 2007, to mark the official opening of the highly anticipated Cancer Center.
In partnership with West Texas Cancer Center, we reach out to cancer patients throughout 17 counties in West Texas. Services include in-patient chemotherapy, supportive cancer care, pain management and education, and outpatient services as needed.
The Cancer Center is located next to Medical Center Hospital on Washington Street, between 3rd and 4th Streets. Its purpose is to provide better, quality care and convenience for the patient. The partnership between Medical Center Hospital and Texas Oncology/West Texas Cancer Center will prove to be a good team effort in the war on cancer, allowing cancer care close to home for West Texans.
Parking is available across the street from the Cancer Center at the 3rd Street and Washington parking lot.
