Lancaster Cancer Center Ltd. is relocating its oncology and hematology practice to 703 Lampeter Road, Lancaster, effective Monday, Aug. 2. Patients will not be seen on Thursday and Friday, July 29 and July 30, while the office moves.

According to physician and practice owner Hyatt P. "Tracy" DeGreen III, DO, the new 9,000-square-foot center has been thoroughly planned with patients' comfort and wellness in mind. The facility features a private, covered entrance for patients to enter easily and avoid weather; convenient, free parking; and a tranquil outdoor space, including a dedicated Healing Garden presented by the Healing Journey Foundation.

The building underwent extensive renovations to accommodate an on-site, highly complex Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) laboratory and medically-integrated dispensary; a dedicated infusion treatment suite featuring large windows for patients to enjoy the natural light; a state-of-the-art ISO 7 certified clean room for preparing and storing chemotherapy medications; a dedicated patient education space, where nurses provide teaching and important information for patients; and a spacious waiting room featuring a custom-designed mural presented by the Healing Journey Foundation.

The new location is also home to the Healing Journey Foundation, a nonprofit organization developed from the vision of Lancaster Cancer Center to provide "care beyond treatment." The foundation serves as an advocate to help cancer patients on their journey. Free to Lancaster Cancer Center patients, their families and the community, programs are designed to educate, inspire and empower. The Healing Journey Foundation also offers ways to honor and memorialize loved ones affected by cancer.

Lancaster Cancer Center was founded by H. Peter DeGreen II, MD, nearly 40 years ago. Today, the practice continues to be a family-owned, independent practice. For more information, visit http://www.lancastercancercenter.com.
