Oncology
Dr. Tzann Fang (pronounced Fong), the Medical Director of the CMH Cancer & Specialty Care specializes in medical oncology, hematology and bone marrow transplantation.
Our nursing team works in close collaboration with Dr. Fang and assumes a wide range of roles. Many of our nurses are oncology nurses with advanced training and certification in chemotherapy and oncology nursing. They attend to all the needs of our patients and their families, often forming long term relationships. This approach translates into excellent patient care and a supportive environment within our state-of-the-art facility.
CMH's partnership with VCU Massey Cancer Center brings local cancer patients the benefits of a nationally recognized, NCI-designated* cancer center with first-rate cancer specialists, highly coordinated care and tailored treatment plans. CMH patients also have access to Massey's cutting-edge clinical trials, which offer added and advanced treatment options.
*Designation by the NCI (National Cancer Institute) places Massey among the top 4 percent of cancer centers in the country and among only two such centers in the state.
