For local cancer patients having to travel for treatment can be a challenge but with the opening of Hallmark Health’s new cancer center on Montvale Avenue last week they no longer have to.

The new facility adds chemotherapy, diagnostic and support services to radiation services for patients throughout the Hallmark Health system.

And in one fell swoop all of these services, which have been scattered in several different communities, are now under one roof in Stoneham, explained Christine Candio, executive vice president of Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Medford, when the new facility was dedicated last Thursday.

“The Hallmark Health Cancer Center allows us to offer the most up-to-date diagnostic studies and therapeutic treatments available today,” said Candio. “So our patients know they are in good hands and will receive the best of treatment, close to home.”
