The Baxter production facility in North Carolina, which supplies 85% of Ohio hospitals with IV solutions, was severely affected by Hurricane Helene. This has led to a significant reduction in IV fluid supplies, potentially delaying surgeries at WCH. Hospital leadership is actively implementing mitigation strategies to adapt to the situation and maintain exceptional care for our community.

At Wooster Community Hospital, we understand that being diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder can be stressful for you and your loved ones. However, there is more hope today than ever before. Our cancer care team is committed to providing you with the most advanced and personalized care available, including the latest technologies, treatment options, and access to clinical research trials.

The WCH cancer care team serves patients at our Wooster Cancer Care office located in the Outpatient Pavilion to provide state-of-the-art care close to home. On the ground floor, you will find private and semi-private wellness bays, complete with a calming garden view, a linear accelerator for radiation therapy, and specialized oncology services, including CT scans, lab facilities, and a pharmacy tailored specifically for chemotherapy treatments. Additionally, our office is staffed by two board-certified hematologists/oncologists, a radiation oncologist, and a certified nurse practitioner.

As a member of The James Cancer Network (JCN), WCH collaborates with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) to bring the most advanced oncology and hematology care to residents in and around Wayne County.

JCN members work hand-in-hand with the experts at the OSUCCC – James to provide seamless care to patients with cancer. At WCH, patients have access to the expansive services provided at the OSUCCC–James, including clinical trials, while still receiving much of their care close to home.

The Wooster Community Hospital’s cancer program has been granted "Accreditation with Commendation" by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. This recognition is limited to programs actively engaged in prevention, early diagnosis, pretreatment evaluation, staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, and support services. A crucial aspect of success for a Commission on Cancer-approved program is providing state-of-the-art care to cancer patients seeking primary, secondary, or tertiary care at the hospital. The Commission's Program Standards encourage collaboration among surgeons, cancer specialists, and staff, resulting in improved patient care through multidisciplinary efforts.
