Quality Cancer Care, Close to Home

As a Commission on Cancer accredited facility, our programs are held to a high standard of care and service. Our program outcomes are compared to national quality data and care standards to make sure our community receives the very best in cancer care.

UK Markey Cancer Affiliation

As part of our continuing focus on making communities healthier, we are a proud partner of the UK Markey Cancer Center Affiliate Network, which provides our patients with enhanced access to high-quality cancer care through collaboration with community hospitals. Our vision is for Kentuckians and those from surrounding states to have access to excellent cancer care. The Markey Affiliate Network assists doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical staff at local hospitals that provide excellent care in their communities. When patients need care that is not available locally, they can be referred to the Markey Cancer Center in Lexington. When that happens, Markey doctors work with LCRH doctors and oncologists to minimize travel for patients and their families.  

Markey also works with LCRH to plan and host a number of local cancer prevention events and activities, such as health fairs, cancer screening programs
and survivorship events.  

Additional benefits to Patients & Families include:

• • • Access to the latest, most up-to-date treatments – minimizing travel time
    • Local resources to help families/caregivers support their loved one
    • Local cancer prevention events and activities (health fairs, cancer screening programs, etc.)

Additional benefits to our Medical Community include:

• • • Cancer-specific education and training for doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical staff
    • Ensure high-quality standards through Commission on Cancer accreditation
    • Access to specialized programs such as genetic counseling
    • Coordination of cancer care with primary care and referring doctors – before, during and after treatment

Cancer is a complex, complicated condition. When you have a cancer diagnosis, you want as many people as possible working together to offer multidisciplinary opinions in order to ensure you receive quality care, the right treatment, and the best outcomes.
