Our Cancer Institute is a Nationally Accredited Community Cancer Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) Commission on Cancer. We offer you access to outstanding specialists and advanced screening, diagnostics, treatment and professional supportive services.
We encourage you to undergo regular cancer screenings to build awareness and learn prevention strategies. Routine screening can detect cancer in its earliest stages, often before you would experience symptoms or the disease advances.
Our Cancer Institute uses the latest technology for cancer screening and diagnosis, including low-dose CT scans for up to 40 percent less radiation exposure. We provide you with comprehensive educational information related to your diagnosis and will schedule appointments with our experienced cancer specialists for follow-up tests.
We offer screening at the hospital and community-based locations for the following:
Free mammograms for underinsured area residents
Cervical Cancer
Colon and Rectal (Colorectal) Cancer
Skin Cancer
Diagnostic Tests by Specialty
We are proud to offer patients prompt service and limited wait times for appointments to develop a plan of care quickly and efficiently on cancer diagnoses.
You will meet with our oncology nurse navigators before scheduled tests or biopsies. Nurse navigators offer you support during testing, provide thorough and coordinated services after tests are completed, and arrange for follow-up services and appointments, if necessary.
Our cancer specialists and pathologists use the most sophisticated technology available to accurately diagnose and stage cancer. We can also provide you with second opinions or verification of cancer diagnoses.

Cancer Support and Survivorship
Our Cancer Institute is at the forefront of community-based hospitals serving the Philadelphia northern suburbs in cancer care. Our goal is to care for patients from the time of initial diagnosis, during treatment and throughout recovery and survivorship.
Read on to learn about support and survivorship resources available for you at Doylestown Health.
As a community-focused hospital and cancer center, our goal is to care for you from the time of initial diagnosis, before and after surgery, for the duration of radiation or chemotherapy treatments and throughout recovery and survivorship. Our support groups provide you with opportunities to participate according to their own preference or personal needs.
Survivorship care planning is an important component of quality cancer treatment, as it identifies important milestones for follow-up and provides you with resources and information to keep them well.
Our cancer risk and genetics services are specifically designed to help you if you are looking for information about your personal risk for cancer. Our goal is to provide early detection and prevention of cancer in our patients and at-risk family members.
The multidisciplinary Cancer Risk and Genetics Program team is available to:
You will receive family history and risk questionnaires. These forms provide your genetic counselor with important information and help tailor your appointments to your personal situation.
You will meet with a licensed, board-certified genetic counselor to review information about you and your family tree, and learn about cancer risk factors including how genes and family history can affect your level of risk.
Genetic testing is offered to individuals with personal or strong family histories of cancer to help determine the chance they will develop cancer. Our program provides education and counseling about the benefits and limitations of the tests to help you make the right decision. Your results will be part of the detailed discussion at your second visit.
You will meet with our Cancer Risk and genetic counselor to receive any additional examinations needed and learn the results of your cancer risk assessment. There will be plenty of time for questions during the session.
To schedule an appointment with a genetic counselor, please call 267.885.1864.

Patti Lyons, 61, of Doylestown, is the proud owner of Peace Valley Lavender Farm. Five years ago, she received a diagnosis of rectal cancer. Today, she is sharing her story of healing. Patti says the compassionate care she received and the special connection she formed with her colorectal surgeon played an equally important role in her decisions to receive her care at Doylestown Hospital. "You don't appreciate how important it is to have this level of expertise and service close by until you need it," says Patti.
Doylestown Hospital recently earned a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. Only four hospitals in Pennsylvania hold this prestigious distinction, and ours is the only one in Bucks County.
