If you’ve spent any time on our Radiation Oncology floor here at the Cancer Center, then you’ve probably heard the distinct sound of our gong indicating someone graduated from treatment.

Today Ronnie Reel got to bang that gong with his family here to celebrate. Congratulations Ronnie!

June Williams is someone who has become intimately acquainted with the impacts of cancer. Over the years, cancer has affected many members of her family. So in 2024 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, her outlook could have been one of despair. Instead, she clung to the hope she has and trusted her doctors to find a path to healing. Over the course of the last year, she fought hard, and just a few short weeks ago, rang the bell that signifies treatment graduation with her family, nurses, and doctor by her side.

During National Cancer Survivors Day, she shared her story and left the group with this encouragement. While cancer can take many things, there are a few things it can never take from you:

Laughter
Joy
Hope
Faith
Music

June's encouragement to those who are walking through their cancer journey is this; “We have survived, now we must live.”

Congratulations on ringing that bell June!

This week our Oncology department received the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) Certificate. This certificate is awarded by the American Society of Clinical Oncology and recognizes St. Bernards Cancer Center as a facility that demonstrates a commitment to quality care for our patients.

Our providers, nurses, pharmacists, and staff work hard to ensure we are meeting and exceeding the standards of care required to renew this certificate every three years. That means patients benefit from excellent care!

On June 1, we hosted our annual National Cancer Survivor Day event. It was a fantastic time of celebration for all of those who have a history of cancer. Thank you to all of those who attended, volunteered, or gave to make this event happen!

Did you know last week was Hospital Week and May is Oncology Nurses month? We know our nurses and staff are fantastic, but don't take our word for it. Here are some real patient comments:

"The nurse that took care of me is always very friendly"

"I couldn't ask for a better and loving staff than those at St Bernards thank you so much."

"Everyone in the radiation area is kind, helpful, pleasant, and medically skilled."

Our patients are the focus here at St. Bernards Cancer Center and it's always a great day when we get to share about them. Check out Lindsey's story on the St. Bernards Healthcare YouTube channel!

Lindsey was diagnosed with breast cancer as she was preparing for her son's wedding.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Cade Martin, Radiology, and Dr. John Lynch, Radiation Oncology (recently retired). They were both recognized as Fellows with the American College of Radiology (ACR).

This is awarded to members of the College in good standing who have demonstrated service to ACR and provided significant accomplishments in scientific and clinical research. Only 15% of current College members have been awarded this honor!

Congratulations to these two outstanding physicians!

Did you know that incidents of lung cancer are 30% higher in the state of Arkansas than in the US but patients with early-stage lung cancer have the best outcomes with a 5-year survival rate of 73%.

Here at the Cancer Center we know that low dose CT screening can catch lung cancer in earlier stages, increasing the survival rate for patients significantly. Don't wait until you have symptoms to get screened for lung cancer. Use our online screening tool to find out if a low dose CT is a good option for you or call 870-207-8250.
