SSM St. Clare Health Center offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer program and a patient-centered approach in collaboration with SSM St. Mary’s Health Center.

Our center offers advanced diagnostic and treatment options, such as:

• PET/CT imaging, which combines two medical imaging technologies into one exam to rapidly pinpoint tumor locations, and provides images of the entire body, often uncovering disease not seen by traditional imaging scans.
• Big Bore CT, which, in addition to its advanced diagnostic capabilities, can be more comfortable for patients than traditional “tube-shaped” machines. The larger “bore” or opening can accommodate patients up to 440 pounds and those wearing bulky apparatus or monitoring equipment.
• SPECT/CT, a powerful nuclear imaging method that allows clinicians to see how a part of the body is functioning at the metabolic level.
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy via a linear accelerator for increased radiation treatment accuracy.
• Full chemotherapy infusion services in a comfortable, convenient setting.
• Complete surgical services to assist in the treatment of various forms of cancer.

As with every patient at SSM St. Clare, cancer patients are treated with compassion, dignity and a forward-thinking approach to recovery and care. Additional services are available, such as spiritual and emotional support, nutrition guidance, pain management and transportation. For more information, call SSM Cancer Care at 636-496-4600.
