From the moment a person is diagnosed with cancer, our job is to mobilize every available resource to help in the fight. At CoxHealth, that includes innovative research, prevention and screening programs, education and support - all in a healing environment.
If you are a newly diagnosed patient at Hulston Cancer Center, we invite you to attend one of our patient orientation classes. These classes are intended to familiarize patients with Hulston Cancer Center, prepare patients for what to expect during daily treatment, and identify the support services available to patients at Hulston Cancer Center. Classes are offered daily. Call 417/269-5224 for more information or to register for a class.
