ONCOLOGY
1 North

An extraordinary group of nursing professionals is dedicated to working with cancer patients in Huntington Hospital’s Don Monti Cancer Center. These individuals staff the hospital’s 25-bed inpatient oncology unit, as well as outpatient areas such as Radiation Oncology and the Women’s Health Center. A majority of these registered nurses are also certified oncology nurses (OCN) and have passed a rigorous test administered by the Oncology Nursing Society, a national organization.

Regardless of their specific roles and work environments, Huntington Hospital’s oncology nurses share a commitment to patient education. This common goal helps provide a continuum of care to cancer patients as they navigate the healthcare system. Cancer diagnosis and treatment might involve surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. A short-or long-term hospital stay might be required. Oncology nurses are with cancer patients every step of the way, from screening and diagnosis through treatment and beyond.  Our nurses understand that the more their patients know about their disease and its treatment, the less anxiety they are likely to experience.
