New AdventHealth Cancer Institute's design centered on patients' comfort, dignity

AdventHealth Winter Park has opened the AdventHealth Cancer Institute Winter Park, an innovative and patient-centered facility designed to provide comprehensive oncology services in a single, convenient location.

The expansion brings cutting-edge technology, expert care and compassionate support closer to home for patients and their families.

The Institute offers a wide range of services, including medical oncology and hematology, radiation oncology and a 17-bay infusion center.

"Cancer treatment is a journey that requires more than just medical expertise."

At the heart of the institute is the Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator, a state-of-the-art radiation oncology machine that delivers precise external beam radiation therapy with advanced features like 4D imaging, rapid arc treatment delivery and respiratory motion management.

These capabilities allow for more targeted treatments, improved outcomes and a focus on patient comfort during every session.

"We're bringing world-class, comprehensive cancer care closer to home, in a space designed with the comfort and dignity of our patients in mind."

The infusion center provides a warm and supportive environment, complete with comfortable patient recliners, personal TVs, nourishment stations and a private room.

Patients have access to chemotherapy, blood transfusions, cooling cap therapy and more, supported by a clinical team of registered nurses, nurse practitioners and pharmacists.

The Institute is also home to the one-of-a-kind Eden Boutique, which specializes in services and products tailored to address conditions such as hair loss, lymphedema and mastectomy, ensuring that patients feel cared for both physically and emotionally.

"Cancer treatment is a journey that requires more than just medical expertise," said Dr. Rajesh Sehgal, director of oncology at AdventHealth Winter Park. "It demands compassion, innovation and holistic care. By bringing these comprehensive services together, we're providing a seamless experience that supports patients every step of the way."

The AdventHealth Cancer Institute Winter Park offers a broad range of outpatient services, including central-line care, therapeutic phlebotomy and blood specimen collection.

Patient support services such as financial advocacy and scheduling support to make it easy for the patient.

This opening marks a new chapter for Winter Park and reinforces its commitment to delivering world-class cancer care to the Central Florida community.
