At the McCreary Cancer Center, you can count on your care team to listen to your needs and help you make decisions about your cancer treatment. Your team will work with you and your primary care provider on a plan that will include the latest cancer treatments and technologies personalized to your needs. We are here to answer your questions, address your concerns and provide you with the best possible care.  

We are proud to be a part of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill, one of the leading cancer centers in the U.S. Through this partnership, we can offer our patients access to clinical trials, innovative therapies and leading-edge research. We know that this can be a challenging time for you and your loved ones, and we’re honored to be part of your care team and look forward to supporting you on your journey with counseling, support groups and nutritional guidance.  

We offer a cancer support group called Table Talk that meets the first Tuesday of every month. It is open to all cancer survivors, families and friends and those in treatment or who have completed treatment. Please call for more information.
