Medical Center to earn an A rating for

OUTPATIENT CANCER CARE
CLOSE TO HOME
Patients who live near Chilton Medical Center
now have access to outpatient cancer care close to
home. The physicians of Atlantic Surgical Oncology
have opened an office for outpatient consultations
and follow-up visits at the Atlantic Health Pavilion at
242 West Parkway.
Lawrence Harrison, MD, chief of Atlantic Surgical
Oncology, explains that physicians there can provide
same-day surgery for procedures such as minor endo-
crine surgery, like thyroid surgery. “We’re doing small-
er biopsies on skin lesions in the treatment of mela-
noma,” he says. “It’s giving patients the same quality
tertiary care with the convenience of being local.”
Dr. Harrison says the surgical oncology team,
which has expertise in robotic and laparoscopic sur-
gery, including hepatobiliary, pancreatic and other
gastrointestinal malignancies, provides consulta-
tions in the Chilton area on complex hepatobiliary
pancreatic or liver cancers and gastrointestinal care.
“We want to provide convenience and access for
those patients who live in the Chilton area, so they
can be seen closer to home.”
