Your hospital.

If you are diagnosed with cancer, one of your first thoughts is likely to be: “Where do I go to get the specialized treatment I need?” You can begin that journey—with complete confidence in your team of physicians and staff—right here in Salem.

The Salem Cancer Institute offers much to you and your loved ones including treatment services with leading-edge technology, the benefits of clinical research and the support of community education programs.

Helping people obtain medical information is also a key role of our new Community Health Education Center. The CHEC will be the place to go to get health information, attend support groups and much more. Be sure to take a few moments to read the insert in this issue of the Messenger and learn how you can help the Salem Hospital Foundation bring this important new resource to our community.

The other exciting news is the change in our brand. You can read more about that change in the article below. Even with these changes, we are still a local, tax-exempt health system—created by and for the people of the mid-Willamette Valley—governed locally by a volunteer Board of Trustees, to serve you and your loved ones.
