Cancer Care

Many hospitals offer cancer treatment, but not many balance powerful treatment strategy with the right dose of sensitivity for their patients like Manatee Memorial Hospital. The multidisciplinary team of oncology professionals at Manatee Memorial Hospital has been collaborating to find appropriate cancer treatments for patients since 1979, making it the first hospital in Manatee County to have dedicated oncology services. The Oncology Department offers a wide range of advanced cancer technology, diagnostic equipment and treatment.
