Cancer Care

Detect. Treat. Defeat.
That’s why we’re here.

Dealing with cancer is a stressful and frightening time. At St. Francis - Emory Healthcare, we are committed to guiding cancer patients and their families through this journey as smoothly as possible. We collaborate with our peers in providing the highest standard of care for oncology patients through education, community liaison activities, participation in the West Central Georgia Cancer Coalition, membership in the Association of Community Cancer Centers, and partnership with the American Cancer Society.

St. Francis - Emory Healthcare features the latest in high-energy radiation therapy that combines medical imaging, 3-D simulation, treatment beam shaping, and respiratory monitoring. This gives our cancer patients convenient access to high-precision radiation treatments available within their own local community.

We offer the Varian TrueBeam Radiotherapy System. This linear accelerator is designed to deliver high-energy radiation to treat tumors deep within the body, allowing clinic staff to capture images to compare to the patient’s treatment plan to ensure accuracy. The radiation therapy machine in Johnson Creek is expertly matched to the TrueBeam machines at University Hospital. If a patient being treated at Johnson Creek becomes very ill and needs to go to University Hospital, they will be able to continue radiation treatments there without delay.
