Living a life of wholeness means being proactive about your care.

Identifying lung cancer early helps us provide better treatment options, and screenings are the best way to help people who are at high risk.

That’s why we provide lifesaving low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung screenings for people who have a high risk of lung cancer, based on the following:

• Between the ages of 50 and 77
• Currently smoke or quit smoking within the last 15 years
• Have a 20-pack year smoking history

A pack-year is calculated by:

• 1 pack per day for 1 year = 1 pack-year
• 1 pack per day for 20 years = 20 pack-years
• 2 packs per day for 10 years = 20 pack-years

It’s recommended that all high-risk individuals get an LDCT scan of the lungs. Don't wait for symptoms. Call us at 386-231-4061 and get tested today.

Ion Endoluminal System

Precision and efficiency are key in lung biopsies. We’re the only hospital in Volusia and Flagler counties to offer a robotic-assisted platform for minimally invasive lung biopsies. The Intuitive Ion endoluminal system represents an advancement in lung biopsy by allowing physicians to obtain tissue samples deep within the lung, addressing a challenging aspect of lung biopsies.

We’re dedicated to ensuring safe and simple lung biopsies, and the Ion meets these standards.

The Ion offers the following benefits:

• An ultra-thin, highly maneuverable catheter that enables doctors to navigate far into the peripheral lung
• Unprecedented stability increases the precision needed for biopsy compared to manual techniques
• The catheter moves 180 degrees in any direction to pass through small, difficult-to-navigate airways and around tight bends to reach all 18 segments of the lung
• Direct vision during navigation
• Faster recovery times than traditional bronchoscopy, and most patients go home the same day

In your journey, you’re always looking for the best cancer treatment options for you. We are too. For some, that may mean exploring new options through clinical trials.

When it comes to active studies, the AdventHealth Research Institute (headquartered in Orlando) is conducting over 700 of them, including trials for numerous cancer subspecialties.

Reach out to our clinical research nurse today at 1-386-231-4023 to find out if a clinical trial could be right for you.

Our whole-person approach means we care about more than just your physical health — we’re dedicated to every aspect of your care. In addition to hospital services like chemotherapy and radiation treatments, you’ll find services like nutrition therapy, support groups, and an extensive cancer resource library.

Genetic Counseling

Most cancer happens by chance, but sometimes it is inherited due to a gene mutation. Sharing family stories and history can do more than bring relatives together - it can help you make informed medical decisions to prepare for your future.

We offer genetic counseling, a comprehensive, customized program designed to support those who have, or may be at risk for hereditary cancer conditions.

Our dedicated oncology social workers are also on hand to help you and your family adjust to new lifestyles and find strength in this journey. They're able to provide one-on-one guidance, caregiver support, and stress management tips, and help with home care, transportation, advance directives, and more. We’re always here to support you in body, mind, and spirit. Get started today by calling Call386-231-4018.
