A Message from the CEO: Good News in the Fight Against Cancer

Kathy Bates is not alone in being diagnosed with cancer. Almost 40 percent of men and more than 37 percent of women will develop cancer during their lifetimes. But here’s the good news. Thanks to more accurate preventive screenings and advances in treatment options, the five-year survival rate for people with cancer today is now 39 to 68 percent higher (depending on the cancer) than it was in the early 1990s. At Hometown Hospital, we’re proud to be part of this ongoing fight against cancer, providing a full range of diagnostic services and cancer therapies. And because we’re local, cancer patients can receive their treatments without the stress and inconvenience of being far away from the emotional support of friends and family. We hope cancer never touches your or your family. But if it does, we’ll be right here for you, close to home.
