BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Roper St. Francis Healthcare is bringing cancer services closer to Berkeley and Dorchester County residents by opening a new radiation oncology unit on the campus of Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital.
The 8,200 square-foot unit is currently the only radiation oncology center in growing Berkeley County and offers a TrueBeam Linear Accelerator that delivers image-guided stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy with high precision to treat cancer.
Up to 30 patients a day can be treated at the radiation oncology unit, which also offers pastoral care, nutritional advice and a licensed social worker offering various services, such as help getting to and from appointments. The unit’s first patients will be seen Feb. 17.
The unit features an open and spacious floorplan with warm colors where patients can find privacy and loved ones and caregivers can wait comfortably.
“The unit’s greatest attribute is our extraordinary health care team,” said Radiation Therapy Manager Jacqueline Dioses. “Our staff will make up for anybody’s tough day. They’re just awesome.”
The radiation oncology unit is in the Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital medical office building, which opened in December 2018 and offers a variety of specialists and outpatient services.
