OUTREACH AND TELEHEALTH
Renown Institute for Cancer provides outreach services to our communities in Fallon and Gardnerville . For patients in need of medical oncology appointments or infusion treatment , care is available without traveling outside the community . Thanks to our partnership with Banner Churchill Community Hospital and Carson Valley Medical Center , we are collaborating to improve the health and convenience of cancer care for patients in those communities . Patients can receive infusion services at both hospitals and may be evaluated and managed by Renown Medical Group – Oncology either at our satellite offices , or by TeleHealth . Renown TeleHealth utilizes videoconferencing technology to give you access to top-level care and better outcomes with less stress and fewer travel costs . These services allow our cancer providers to consult on evaluation , diagnosis and treatment of patients in the comfort of their community .
