Gila Regional Cancer Center 

Compassionate Cancer Care —- Close to Home

Good medical care is more than just treating cancer itself. Cancer can affect every aspect of your life: your mood, your diet, and your family. You can become overwhelmed. At Gila Regional Cancer Center (GRCC) their focus is on treating a patient as an individual to be cared for, not a medical condition to be treated.

Our Cancer Center is a partnership between Gila Regional Medical Center and the New Mexico Cancer Center  which allows leading oncologists to see and treat patients right here.

You'll avoid the stress and expense of extended travel and benefit from the comfort of home, family and friends.

Chemotherapy and State-of-the-Art Radiology

• Not only is the Gila Regional Cancer Center close to home, but we are able to provide both chemotherapy and radiation therapy services for our patients in a healing environment.
• The Cancer Center maintains staff of three medical oncologists/hematologists from the New Mexico Cancer Center who provide a minimum of six clinics per month and two radiation oncologists who provide weekly clinic services. Additions to the team include two full-time radiation therapists who provided daily radiation treatments for our patients, and a physicist that makes weekly visits to the center.
• We can provide you with a list of support groups that address the emotional and social effects of cancer. We can connect you to our patient navigator program that can help you coordinate your care.
  
  The patient navigators or the Cancer Center caregivers can assist you with a review of your insurance information and suggest sources of financial assistance, like the Grant County Health Plan or a list of national sources. Gila Regional Medical Center Auxiliary offers a Lunch Program for patients during their treatments that are unable to purchase food.
