* The 16,313 sq ft Cancer Center features a new Linear Accelerator, CT Simulation, Infusion, Pharmacy, Lab, and complete supportive services, plus a 3,500 sq ft satellite facility.
* Established in 2006, the Cancer Center is a well-regarded resource for residents of Caldwell County and beyond. Offices are strategically located on both ends of the county to minimize patient travel.

The physician will also champion initiatives to streamline oncology care across medical disciplines, ensure patient-centered and evidence-based oncology care, and collaborate with community providers to maximize patient retention within the McCreary/Caldwell UNC Health Care service area.
About the Area:
* Centrally located to key cities in Western North Carolina—70-minute travel time to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Asheville, and Winston-Salem; only 20 minutes to the North Carolina High Country and the mountain resort community of Blowing Rock.
