Six Things to Know About the Yung Family Cancer Center

Experiencing cancer can be difficult for you and your loved ones, physically, mentally and emotionally. Whether you live in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky or Southeastern Indiana, the newly named cancer center at St. Elizabeth, the Yung Family Cancer Center, is a place of healing and hope. We offer world-class cancer care minutes from your home. You’ll find comprehensive services to meet your needs, all in one convenient location.

Care for the Whole Person — Not Just the Cancer

The cancer center occupies a six-story facility in Edgewood, Ky., with nearly 250,000 square feet of cutting-edge design and advanced technology. The facility is home to many outpatient cancer clinics. Each clinic has an expert team that focuses on treating a specific cancer type, such as breast, lung and blood cancers. You’ll find our on-site lab services, retail pharmacy, café and resource center on the first floor.

Patients and families can visit our facility’s doTERRA Center for Integrative Oncology. This is a calming space to explore holistic care options such as yoga, meditation, aromatherapy and specialized nutrition. We also offer a large, beautiful garden courtyard where you can enjoy moments of peace. Many patients and families reflect, pray or relax in our meditation room.

“We are here to treat the cancer and the patient,” says Douglas Flora, MD, Executive Medical Director of Oncology Services at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “Our mission is to provide each patient with comprehensive, holistic care and achieve excellence as measured by clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.”

Six things collectively represent our unwavering commitment to excellence at the Yung Family Cancer Center.

1. Access to cutting-edge clinical trials – Patients can participate in groundbreaking clinical trials. Many receive promising treatments that are only available as part of a research study. We offer National Cancer Institute (NCI) and NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) sponsored studies, which can offer many patients the best possible outcomes.
2. Multidisciplinary oncology teams – Our expert teams work in unison to offer unparalleled care. The teams are made up of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, oncology surgeons, highly trained nurses and more. With integrated nurse navigation services, clinical research and survivorship support, we’re not just treating cancer; we’re fostering hope, healing and holistic well-being.
3. Expert care for many types of cancer – With state-of-the-art technology and specialized oncology teams, we’re equipped to tackle diverse cancers — from breast, lung, prostate and colon cancers to skin, gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers. We also focus on cancer screenings, which help detect cancers early, when treatment is often more effective.
4. Advanced treatments, close to home – Our cutting-edge technologies, like advanced linear accelerators and CT simulators, allow us to offer precision treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. These technologies merge seamlessly with infusion services.
5. Precision medicine – Experts at our Comprehensive Center for Precision Medicine and Genomic Health identify cancer prevention and treatment strategies based on a person’s genetic profile. This leads to care uniquely designed for each individual. Backed by a team of oncology experts, including licensed genetic counselors and specialized nurses, we’re redefining cancer care, one personalized treatment plan at a time.
6. Support beyond treatment – With nurse navigation services, educational resources, care coordination and survivorship groups available, patients will have the cancer support they need and deserve. Whether navigating diagnostic imaging or accessing integrative oncology services, we provide continuous care and resources, empowering patients to thrive throughout all aspects of their care.
