A Note from
C. Douglas Taylor, MD

As Chief of Hematology-Oncology at CHA, I'm proud to lead a team that offers expert cancer care at each of our three campuses.

I understand that cancer affects people in many ways, and that you need coordinated care. That's why we have worked so hard to become a recognized Community Hospital Cancer Program. Today, our board-certified medical specialists, surgeons, nurses, and other health professionals are able to give each person and family the care they expect and deserve.

I I look forward to continuing to provide patients with even greater levels of service, and I thank you for allowing us to help you.

What is a Hematologist/Oncologist?

These doctors (also known as Hem/Onc):

• Diagnose and treat blood related conditions
• Study, diagnose, and treat cancerous tumors. This includes educating patients about their illness, explaining what treatments will take place, and caring for patients during and after treatment.

Some conditions treated by our team:

• Anemia
• Bleeding disorders
• Unusual blood clotting
• Low or high blood counts
• Cancers
• Cancers that "run in the family
• Concern about your risk for cancer
