Oncology

Oncology services provide maximum convenience and privacy for the growing number of patients diagnosed with cancer and blood disorders. Located on the first floor, oncology has three examining rooms and a large open area for the administration of medications and other services.

Franklin Memorial Hospital has a partnership with MaineGeneral’s Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care and Dr. Andrew Hertler, a medical oncologist and hematologist, who provides cancer care at Franklin Memorial Hospital each week. Dr. Hertler's services will greatly benefit patients and their families who had to travel long distances for the same care and treatment they can receive right here.

We offer chemotherapy and intravenous fluids administration, blood product transfusion, and antibiotic therapy—all administered by chemotherapy-certified and oncology-certified registered nurses.

Access to clinical cancer research trials is possible through the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
