About the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care
The Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care is part of MaineGeneral Medical Center and is located adjacent to the Alfond Center for Health in Augusta, Maine.
Our innovative center offers comprehensive cancer services in one location, close to home. Recent expansion of the cancer center was completed in June 2026. Among the improvements, we’re able to provide wrap-around and support services all under one roof, helping to meet the needs of cancer patients where they are already receiving treatment. The expanded center will allow us to serve more patients and meet the growing needs of our region for years to come.
Caring for our friends and neighbors is important to us and we will make every effort to meet your needs and to make your experience as pleasant as possible for you and your family.
Please let us know if you have questions or if there is anything we can do to make you more comfortable while you're with us.
