Cancer Centers
Sentara Cancer Network is dedicated to making the diagnostic and treatment process as easy and stress-free as possible for patients and caregivers. We realize that people diagnosed with cancer often have multiple appointments with specialists in a single day. We continue to look for ways to streamline the care process so that patients have more time to focus on healing.
The 12 acute care hospitals and three dedicated cancer centers that comprise the Sentara Cancer Network serve as strong community assets throughout the region by providing comprehensive services close to where people live and work. For years, Sentara RMH Hahn Cancer Center and Sentara Martha Jefferson Cancer Center have been providing outpatient care and support services in centralized, comprehensive settings. Sentara Healthcare is drawing on the successes of these cancer centers to create a new cancer center on the Sentara Leigh Hospital campus in Norfolk.
Sentara Brock Cancer Center
Sentara Healthcare has invested $93.5 million to build the Sentara Brock Cancer Center. This new, 253,000-square-foot center brings together expert care teams from Sentara Medical Group, Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), Virginia Oncology Associates, and other community physicians to provide compassionate, personalized cancer care.
Patient and caregiver input was instrumental in creating the center, which features:
Centralized cancer services: Sentara Brock Cancer Center brings all members of a patient’s care team together under one roof to address needs in a healing environment. Patients are able to receive same-day consultations from specialists across a variety of disciplines. This co-location allows for more fully integrated palliative care, rehabilitation and survivorship programs, as well as enhancement of wellness and chemo prevention programs.
Support services: The center provides streamlined access to important support services, including support groups for patients and caregivers, financial counseling, nutritional counseling, supplementary services like massage and mastectomy tattooing, as well as a retail center.
Research partnerships: Our increased collaboration with Virginia Oncology Associates, Eastern Virginia Medical School and numerous clinical community partners allows us to put the latest research findings into action through clinical trials. Physicians are able to seamlessly translate clinical research findings into the latest cancer treatments and advanced technology directly to patients.
