Cancer Care
When you have a cancer diagnosis or a blood disorder, you want and deserve the best care, close to home.
We provide leading-edge technology and the most advanced treatments for fighting cancer and blood disorders while understanding and recognizing that having a cancer diagnosis can affect your emotional, spiritual and financial well-being in addition to your physical health.
Throughout our center, you'll find large windows and artwork inspired by nature and our beautiful state of Maine. In our infusion area, each bay features a heated massage reclining chair for your comfort, separate seating for your guest and a television.
Our onsite services include:
- Imaging with a new PET scanner;
- Imaging services;
- An onsite pharmacy with three full-time pharmacists (two board-certified oncology pharmacists);
- Onsite lab services that include a four-chair lab draw area staffed with RNs and phlebotomists to preform peripheral and port draws; and
- An Open Access Clinic with dedicated providers to provide supportive care for unscheduled urgent needs.
Our dedicated, compassionate staff care for more than 12 percent of Maine's cancer population and see more than 7,000 patients with a cancer diagnosis annually, including more than 1,200 newly diagnosed cases a year.

Satellite Clinics
We’re proud to offer services to patients in the Kennebec Valley and beyond. Through our partnership with other hospitals, we're able to help patients access high-quality cancer services close to home.
We have collaborations with the following hospitals:
- MaineHealth Franklin Hospital
- Redington-Fairview General Hospital
- St. Mary's Health System
All hematology/oncology patients begin at the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care specialty hub, where they receive an oncologist consultation and a coordinated care plan before returning to their home communities for treatment. Each satellite clinic is staffed by a Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care Advanced Practice Practitioner who manages patient care in collaboration with designated oncologists. This model strengthens access, quality and continuity of care, allowing the center to support patients close to home while extending its impact across the region.
Accreditations
You have the security of knowing our center is accredited by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) and American College of Radiology (ACR). Since 2010, the center also has been a Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®)-certified program by the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
