The SIH Cancer Institute opened its doors in March of 2015 as the region's first and only dedicated cancer treatment center, signaling a significant leap forward in healthcare accessibility and quality. Since then, it has become a cornerstone of SIH and an invaluable resource to the people of Southern Illinois and the surrounding region, allowing our patients to be treated close to home where family and friends can be with them through their treatment process. Having this close network of support is vital to the positive outcome of care.

Benefits of the comprehensive cancer institute were immediately realized, including clinical excellence, integration, and team-based coordination of treatment. Each patient's journey through the continuum of care is approached with a personalized plan, focusing on the individual as a whole, not just his or her illness. The feedback we have received has been overwhelmingly positive, with frequent expressions of gratitude for the existence of such a facility right here in Southern Illinois, underscoring its pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for our community members battling cancer.

The SIH Cancer Institute stands as a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional healthcare close to home. Its journey from inception to becoming an indispensable healthcare asset reflects our unwavering dedication to the health and well-being of all the people in the communities we serve. As we move forward, we remain steadfast in our mission to offer expert cancer care, patient-centric services, and a compassionate environment that prioritizes the health and healing of each individual.
