Greetings,
I am Jang Na Young, the Cancer Center Director at the VHS Medical Center.

The Cancer Center at the VHS Medical Center was established in November 2012 to provide systematic and personalized treatment for cancer patients, considering the increasing incidence of cancer in the aging veteran population, among whom have multiple underlying diseases.

The center operates 13 specialized sub-centers for each type of cancer, including colorectal, lung, and gastric cancers. Each sub-center has established a multidisciplinary integrated care system composed of specialists from various medical departments.

Our center received the highest “Grade 1” rating in the adequacy evaluations for the four major cancers: colorectal, breast, lung, and gastric cancers. Since September 2016, we have operated a Fast Track system to conduct examinations for new patients as quickly as possible, ensuring that optimal treatment can be provided in a timely manner.

In addition, we provide prompt diagnosis and personalized treatment through our multidisciplinary integrated care system.

At the Cancer Center, oncology nurse specialists are available on-site to provide counseling for cancer patients and their families, guiding them to receive prompt and convenient medical services. They also offer education and counseling on appropriate cancer treatment processes and self-care methods to maximize treatment effectiveness and improve patients’ quality of life.

We are committed to providing the best possible medical services to veteran cancer patients and their families.

Thank you.

Cancer Center Director Jang Na Young
