The Lourdes Cancer Center provides diagnostic, surgical, medical oncology, radiation therapy and other modalities. It has a boutique that assists patients with aesthetic needs, a cancer resource center and support groups. The Lourdes Cancer Center is accredited by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer.

The Acuity Specialty Hospital is a 30-bed facility long term case facility. It serves r seriously ill patients who require extended hospital stays (an average of 25 days) before returning home.[1] Patients are admitted directly from short-stay hospitals, often from intensive care units, with ventilator-dependent respiratory failure or other complex medical conditions that require aggressive and continuous acute-care services. The unit is designed for patients with cardiopulmonary conditions resulting from trauma; a severe medical illness or post-operative problem, or the development of an acute illness superimposed on a chronic illness like malnutrition, cardiac disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients get the time to heal before being transferred to a rehab hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Behavioral Health: A 10-bed voluntary unit and 18-bed involuntary unit provide patients with various behavioral therapies.

Surgery: Minimally invasive procedures to treat urologic conditions and kidney disease are performed here. Bariatric and orthopedic surgeries also are done at the hospital.[2]
