Hematology services at the NSMC Cancer Center are quite extensive, including outpatient care as well as supportive consultative visits to inpatients at NSMC Salem and Union hospitals. Our consultative services run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Several new physicians trained in hematology have recently joined our staff, thereby expanding our expertise in this critical area of cancer care.
