McCreery Cancer Center at Ottumwa Regional Health Center is a resource center for patients and their families in which they will find not only the most up-to-date treatments, but also an environment of compassionate care. The McCreery Cancer Center lies on the North side of Ottumwa Regional Health Center. It is distinguished from the rest of the hospital by its large protective awning and all of the windows that allow sunlight into its interior. Here, patients and their families will find an environment designed for healing. A courtyard provides a place to enjoy fresh air and the radiation therapy vault offers a beautiful overhead skyscape of trees and sunlight.
The center is named on behalf of Roland and Arloine McCreery, long-time residents of Ottumwa who saw a need and responded with a very generous financial gift that would insure that friends, neighbors and loved ones in the region would be able to receive life sustaining cancer treatment without having to travel to Des Moines, Iowa City or Columbia, MO.
The center provides area for support groups and educational sessions of up to 30 people as well as a small conference room for the Cancer Program’s monthly meetings, and small groups.
Please come take a look and see for yourself through an in-person visit.
