Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) Regional Cancer Centre partners with other hospitals in the Waterloo Wellington Region to offer safe cancer care closer to your home.
Your 1st treatment will be given at WRHN Regional Cancer Centre in Kitchener. After that, your treatments will be given at a hospital closer to your home. Sharing your care with a partner site can mean less travel and stress. You will get the same, reliable cancer care at all partner sites.
Your Oncologist, Dr. _________________, is still in charge of your cancer care and treatment plan. At your partner site a General Practitioner of Oncology (GPO), and Oncology Pharmacists, will oversee your care. Specialized oncology nurses will deliver your cancer treatment.
