The Region's Leader In Cancer Care
Since 1995, experience, dedication and caring are the three words most associated with the Center for Cancer Care at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center. The Center for Cancer Care is the region's leading provider of cancer care and hope.
The Center for Cancer Care houses almost all outpatient cancer services in one area so cancer patients and their loved ones do not have to endure the emotional and physical stress of making multiple office visits to several locations.
OSF Saint Anthony was the first healthcare provider in the Rockford area to provide our patients high-dose rate brachytherapy, which uses radiation internally to attack tumors, prostate seed implants, as well as genetic risk assessment programs for breast and colon cancer.

. We encourage family closeness and participation at each stage - before,during and after the birth of your baby. That's why our spacious labor,delivery and recovery (LDR) suites allow you to labor,deliver and recover in an atmosphere that looks more like home than a hospital.
Each room is individually and beautifully decorated in soothing and pleasant colors. The birthing bed adjusts to your individual birthing preference. There is even an adjustable recliner for fathers-to-be to nap on. Each private bath is equipped with a shower and luxurious jacuzzi,which can help relieve back discomfort during the early stages of labor and assist the healing process after delivery. There's also a remote control television and VCR. C-section and recovery room care are provided by our staff in the Center.
