Diagnostic Services

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective cancer care. OMC offers advanced diagnostic testing and imaging services to detect and evaluate cancer, including:

  • 3D mammography (breast cancer screening)
  • ultrasound, CT, and MRI imaging
  • biopsy and pathology services
  • colonoscopy and other preventive screenings.

If your care requires specialized oncology treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, our providers work closely with regional cancer centers to coordinate referrals and ensure continuity of care.

Supportive Care During Cancer Treatment

Even if your primary treatment occurs elsewhere, OMC provides a variety of supportive services to help manage symptoms, maintain strength, and promote overall wellbeing:

Symptom and Side Effect Management

Our clinicians help manage pain, nausea, fatigue, and other treatment-related symptoms, improving your comfort and daily function.

Nutrition Support

Registered dietitians provide practical nutrition advice to help you maintain strength, support immune function, and improve energy during and after cancer treatment.

Palliative Care

Our Palliative Care team offers compassionate support to improve quality of life for patients and families. We help manage symptoms, coordinate care, and guide important health decisions—at any stage of illness.

Behavioral Health

Licensed therapists offer counseling to help patients and families cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes that may come with a cancer diagnosis.

Physical and Occupational Therapy

Our Rehabilitation Services team can help restore strength, mobility, and function during recovery or after surgery.

Ongoing Care

Our care doesn’t stop when treatment ends. OMC supports cancer survivors with:

  • ongoing health monitoring and preventive screenings
