CMH, Central Care Cancer Center strengthen partnership to enhance local cancer services
Citizens Memorial Hospital in Bolivar and Central Care Cancer Center of Salina, Kansas, have signed an agreement to continue their commitment to delivering comprehensive cancer care services to the Bolivar community through a refined partnership.
The two organizations have collaborated to offer cancer services in Bolivar since 2005. That partnership led to the opening of the Carrie J. Babb Cancer Center in 2008, located adjacent to the Douglas Medical Center and across the street from the hospital on Highway 83.
Under the new agreement, CMH will provide medical oncology and infusion services as part of its outpatient operations. Central Care will continue providing radiation therapy services at the Carrie J. Babb Cancer Center.
To maintain seamless care, CMH will contract with Central Care for physician, billing and management services, providing a unified and efficient experience for patients. Patients will continue to receive care from the same experienced and compassionate staff they know and trust.
CMH already provides nutritional counseling and social services support for cancer patients at the Carrie J. Babb Cancer Center.
“We value our long-standing partnership with Central Care in providing quality cancer care in this region,” said Michael Calhoun, CEO/executive director of CMH and CMH Foundation. “This collaboration ensures that patients will continue to receive care from trusted medical professionals and have access to the best possible oncology services.”
“We are proud to continue our collaboration with Citizens Memorial,” said Alfredo Lopez, CEO of Central Care. “Together, we are strengthening our shared commitment to patient-centered care, ensuring individuals have access to expert oncology services, advanced treatments and compassionate support close to home.”
This joint effort enhances care coordination and supports continued innovation in cancer treatment for the region. Both organizations remain dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care and improving outcomes for patients and their families.
