Covenant Regional Thumb Network (CRTN) announces a new name, new cancer care center in the Thumb

With Covenant Healthcare extending cancer care through the opening of the CRTN Cancer Care Center on the campus of Marlette Regional Hospital, much needed oncology services will be immediately available to patients living in Michigan’s “Thumb.”

The 16,260 square foot facility will provide a full range of cancer care for patients including medical oncology, chemotherapy infusion and radiation oncology.

This month, the cancer care center’s team of oncology specialists will start seeing medical oncology patients in the newly renovated center. A state-of-the-art Elekta Versa HD Linear Accelerator will come online in the first quarter of 2023 to provide radiation oncology service for patients from throughout the Thumb.

All of the network’s hospitals, Deckerville Community Hospital, Harbor Beach Community Hospital, Hills & Dales Healthcare, Marlette Regional Hospital, and Scheurer Health, assisted Covenant HealthCare’s efforts to bring this extraordinary service to the Thumb.

A community-wide open house is being scheduled for the spring.
