We know that the quality of care a patient receives throughout the cancer journey is critical to a successful outcome. That’s why our patients are at the center of everything we do.
At MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute at MedStar Montgomery Medical Center, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer that ensures the coordination of care among all providers—from primary care physicians to specialists in all oncology disciplines to clinical and allied health professionals. This level of care integrates services that address specific patient-centered needs with clinical treatment and is key to improving the quality of life for cancer patients and their loved ones.
Here, you’ll find world-class care delivered in a warm and welcoming community environment. Our state-of-the-art facilities feature the most advanced technologies for diagnosing and treating cancer. Our new Oncology Pavilion, opening soon, will encompass the entire continuum of care, further enhancing the patient experience and improving the overall quality of care we provide.
As part of MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute, we diagnose and treat a wide range of cancers. We are dedicated to providing the latest breakthroughs in cancer care, including emerging immunotherapy and targeted therapies. We are also connected to the expertise of Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Institute’s research engine, and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region’s only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. This gives patients access to groundbreaking clinical trials (some of which are now open for local enrollment at our hospital).
When you’re faced with a cancer diagnosis, you want the most advanced care delivered with compassion by a highly skilled team. That’s what you’ll find at MedStar Montgomery—comprehensive care that’s easily accessible—close to home.
