OptumCare recently opened the first phase of a new 55,000-square-foot Cancer Center at Rancho Drive and Charleston Boulevard in the heart of the Las Vegas Medical District. It will soon launch the second phase of this $22 million investment this summer, including an expanded breast care department, imaging center, patient and family resource library and café. Offering all of these services in one location means patients won’t have to leave the Cancer Center to get diagnosed, visit doctors or receive treatment.

The Cancer Center features 26 semi-private infusion suites for patients undergoing chemotherapy. The suites were built with patient comfort in mind and feature pull-out tabletops, charging ports for mobile devices and extra seating for friends and family. The building features beautiful cause-based art created by clients from local nonprofit, Opportunity Village, and other organizations, plus a resource library for patients and their families.

OptumCare is proud to offer more choices in cancer treatment to Southern Nevadans. OptumCare Cancer Care offers a variety of cancer treatment services for its patients including medical oncology, hematology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, breast care, imaging, genetic counseling, palliative care and laboratory services, with more services coming soon.

OptumCare’s approach to cancer care is based on highly coordinated care, with holistic individualized treatment plans and shared decision-making between physicians and patients. This is achieved through partnerships with other medical organizations, nonprofit organizations and community partners. OptumCare also plays a leading role within the medical community and creates a place of learning and support for all who live in Southern Nevada.
