OUTREACH AND TELEHEALTH
Renown Institute for Cancer provides outreach services to our communities in Fallon and Gardnerville. For patients in need of medical oncology appointments or infusion treatment, care is available without traveling outside the community. Thanks to our partnership with Banner Churchill Community Hospital and Carson Valley Medical Center, we are collaborating to improve the health and convenience of cancer care for patients in those communities. Patients can receive infusion services at both hospitals and may be evaluated and managed by Renown Medical Group – Oncology either at our satellite offices, or by TeleHealth. Renown TeleHealth utilizes videoconferencing technology to give you access to top-level care and better outcomes with less stress and fewer travel costs. These services allow our cancer providers to consult on evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of patients in the comfort of their community.
