The Gebhart Center for Cancer Care
at Fort Hamilton Hospital

Fort Hamilton was the first center in Butler County to receive designation as a Cancer Treatment Facility by the American College of Surgeons. The Gebhart Center for Cancer Care is now the only hospital in the area to provide cancer patients with advanced imaging technology which allows radiation oncologists to target tumors more accurately than ever before. The technology can track tumor motion in real time. It also automates patient positioning, allowing clinicians to deliver the radiation dose directly to a targeted area with sub-millimeter accuracy.

Our board certified oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists, registered radiation therapists, specially trained nurses, dietitians, pastoral care staff and social workers are committed to providing the treatment and support you and your family need. Each step of your treatment can be completed by the Gebhart Center for Cancer Care in a comfortable, friendly environment.
