DF/BWCC at Milford Regional Medical Center |
The center is located next to the main campus of the Milford Regional Medical Center at the intersection of routes 140 and 16.
The new, 54,000-square foot, two-floor center provides comprehensive cancer services, including radiation therapy and imaging on the first floor, and the medical oncology clinic area with expanded space for infusion, exams, reception, and support services, such as social work and nutrition, on the second floor.
In addition, imaging services on the first floor include CT, PET CT, MRI and X-ray. Laboratory testing is conveniently located within the center as well. Current Milford cancer patients receive their care in the building, while DF/BWCC patients have the option to go there for treatment of certain cancers.
