Evergreen’s Radiation Oncology Center offers leading edge cancer treatment in a relaxing, serene and supportive environment. During the course of cancer treatments, patients and their families may encounter multiple physicians, treatment centers and support staff. Evergreen’s program provides all the information and resources you need in one award-winning, comfortable setting. Specially trained staff coordinate each patient’s care and stay with that patient through treatment and follow-up.

The Evergreen Radiation Oncology Center utilizes a state-of-the-art multibeam linear accelerator for delivering the radiation and a dedicated CT-scanner linked to a specialized 3D treatment planning computer. This allows more accurate targeting of the tumor, while sparing nearby healthy tissues. The result is better treatment outcomes, with less toxicity.

Evergreen was also one of the first treatment facilities in the state to offer Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). IMRT controls tumors be delivering high doses of radiation safely without damaging critical normal tissues.

The Center also features a private waiting area for patients, very much like a comfortable living room with a picture window looking out over a calming Japanese garden. This relaxing atmosphere encourages patients to talk and support each other.
