Cancer Care on the central coast

Cancer outcomes have improved significantly in recent years, thanks to ongoing research and advances in treatment. At Salinas Valley Health, we stay at the forefront of these developments to ensure our patients have access to the most advanced, evidence-based care available.

As a leading provider of oncology and hematology services, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, compassionate care at every stage of the cancer journey. Our experienced team focuses on treating the whole person—combining clinical expertise with personalized support.

Proudly serving the Central Coast and surrounding communities, we are here to guide, support, and care for you every step of the way.

The study and treatment of cancer are primarily supported by the following specialties:

  • Oncology – Focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. Oncologists manage a patient’s overall cancer care, which may include coordinating chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and, in some cases, surgical or radiation treatment in collaboration with other specialists.
  • Hematology – The study of blood and blood-related disorders. Because certain cancers originate in the blood and bone marrow—such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma—hematology often overlaps with oncology. Specialists in this field play a key role in diagnosing and managing these conditions, working closely with oncology teams to provide comprehensive care.
