Top specialists, national clinical trials

And just like patients seen at our main Savannah location, patients in Hinesville can benefit from our clinical effectiveness teams, who meet regularly to discuss individual cancer cases to insure the best treatment regimen is being offered.

Additionally, the Hinesville office and patients benefit from the expertise of the National Cancer Institute’s Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). We know that 85 percent of cancer patients in the United States are diagnosed in or near the communities in which they live, which tells us that easier access to care is critical. Because of our participation in NCORP, we have access to some of the latest cancer trials.
Patients in Hinesville can benefit from our disease-specific clinical effectiveness teams as well as multi-disciplinary tumor boards, who meet regularly to discuss individual cancer cases to insure the best treatment regimen is being offered.
St. Joseph’s/Candler and the LCRP have had a longstanding goal to bring the best cancer treatments to people where they live. We’ve been rapidly expanding cancer treatment programs across the region for the benefit and convenience of our patients. Additional centers have opened in Jesup, Statesboro, Pembroke, in addition to our expansion in Bluffton and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
