More than 40% of patients treated at the St. Charles Cancer Center in Bend travel from Redmond, Madras, Prineville and other rural communities for their care. If they need radiation as part of their treatment, this can mean traveling more than 50 miles for services multiple days in a row for weeks at a time. "We know that many of our patients travel farther than patients at other cancer centers in the country for their care," said Dr. Linyee Chang, medical director of the St. Charles Cancer Center. "Some patients opt out of treatment because of the travel and that's not OK." To better meet the needs of these patients, St. Charles Health System is excited to announce plans to expand cancer services in Redmond. Using $90 million secured through bonds in the fall of 2020 that are restricted and must be used for new construction, St. Charles will build a new cancer center on the St. Charles Redmond campus at the corner of Canal Boulevard and Kingwood Avenue.
