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

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.
Coordinated Care, Centered on You
Cancer care often involves a team of specialists working together. At Salinas
Valley Health, we use advanced, secure technology to keep your care connected—ensuring
