Inpatient Oncology Services

The North Carolina Cancer Hospital, part of the University of North Carolina Health Care System, provides comprehensive care for our patients and full support for their families. With a high level of nursing expertise across all areas of the hospital, we care for adult hematology and oncology patients from admission to discharge, in outpatient clinics and diagnostic facilities to procedural areas and inpatient units.

Our multidisciplinary team provides patient-centered care by addressing the unique medical, physical, psychosocial, spiritual, educational and discharge planning needs of each of our patients. In August of 2009, we moved to our beautiful new home, which features 50 private rooms.

In this 16-bed unit, we care for adult and pediatric patients undergoing transplant for hematologic cancers, solid tumors, metabolic diseases and blood disorders.
