First in Iowa! Regional Health Services of Howard County aligns with Cancer Treatment Centers of America Chicago

Regional Health Services of Howard County, a critical access hospital in Northeast Iowa, has agreed to collaborate with oncology specialists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America's Chicago facility.  The alliance will offer advanced oncology care to area residents.
 
Patients will receive coordinated care from both RHSHC and CTCA® providers. In addition, clinical telemedicine services will connect patients via real-time videoconferencing to CTCA Chicago oncologists for regular visits close to home. This collaboration marks the first CTCA coordinated cancer care alliance in the state of Iowa.
 
This collaboration will provide RHSHC area patients with access to CTCA Chicago's expertise in the areas of medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, gynecologic oncology, and hematologic oncology as well as genetic and genomic testing, clinical trials, and precision cancer treatment.
 
Says Regional Health Services of Howard County CEO Robin Schluter, "This alliance with CTCA brings comprehensive cancer care closer to home for the communities we serve by offering chemotherapy and infusion services onsite in Cresco.
