Our Cancer Providers
One team, One focus
Our team of medical professionals has one focus: you! Although we specialize and are credentialed in different aspects of cancer treatment, we come together to create a treatment plan specific to you and your disease.
The Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center at The University of Toledo Medical Center and The Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers have come together to enhance access to cancer care in northwest Ohio.
We’re proud to collaborate for enhanced health and wellness in our community.
