Located in a serene, wooded setting just off Route 15 in
Mechanicsburg, PA, OakWood Center’s one-story design and
easy parking adjacent to the entrance relieves patients and
their families from worry about traffic and accessibility. OakWood first opened it doors in October, 1987 as a joint
venture among three partners; Holy Spirit Health System,
Capital Health System and two area medical oncologists. Each
saw the need for a radiation therapy facility to serve the
West Shore and surrounding Capital Region communities. Over
the years, the clinic has expanded, new technology added,
and existing technology upgraded or replaced.
OakWood Center sees on average 400 new patients a year and
in 2006 administered over 10,000 treatments.
OakWood Center’s Medical Director, Dr. Stephen Milito,
partners with Holy Spirit Health Systems
to offer the latest in treatment technology and expertise.
The clinic is equipped to administer IMRT (Intensity
Modulated Radiation Therapy) and 3-D conformal external beam
radiotherapy, in addition to HDR brachytherapy, IGRT (Image
Guided Radiotherapy), and partial breast treatment. B-mode
Acquisition and Targeting Ultrasound (BAT) further increases
treatment precision.
