Overview
About the centre
GenesisCare has opened a new integrated cancer centre in Maitland, an extension of our centre in Gateshead. Our new centre brings together a team of locally-based specialists to provide consulting, radiation therapy, medical oncology, and allied health.
Our specialists have over 20 years’ experience treating patients in Maitland, Newcastle, and the Hunter Region. Patients will receive continuity of treatment and care by a specialised team that our referrers and patients know and trust.
The new integrated cancer centre will provide patients with access to support services including allied health, and medical imaging (PET, MRI, and breast ultrasound) which will be provided onsite by Hunter Imaging Group.
Specialist oncology consultation is available in Port Stephens.
Consulting specialists have the support of Ramsay Health Care’s local network of facilities located at Lake Macquarie Private Hospital and Warners Bay Private Hospital, providing patients with added choice, convenience and easier access to a strong network of health care.
