Cancer Care Program
     
MaineGeneral's Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care is the leader in cancer care in the Kennebec Valley and beyond.

We care for more than 14 percent of Maine's cancer population and see more than 7,000 individuals with a cancer diagnosis annually, including more than 1,000 newly diagnosed cases.

We treat a wide range of cancer types including breast, colorectal, genitourinary (including prostate, bladder, kidney, testicular and penile), gynecological, lung and skin.

Our highly skilled and experienced staff — combined with our state-of-the-art facility and technology — allow us to provide patients with the best care possible close to home.  

MaineGeneral also has an established clinical research program with the world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, an affiliation that gives patients access to newly approved treatments.

Our cancer services extend beyond the medical care we provide.

We bring hope and healing to patients and their families and are available to help them make the best choices for their unique situations.

   

Acupuncture Services
Anne Jacobs, naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist, offers acupuncture on Mondays to patients during their chemotherapy sessions.

This service is provided from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Patients interested in receiving a treatment should tell their chemotherapy nurse.

Treatments last about 45 minutes and cost $25 per treatment, due at the time of service.

This service is provided by a private practitioner.

MaineGeneral makes every effort to offer services to patients regardless of their ability to pay.

If financial assistance is needed, please ask to speak to a care manager.
