Inpatient Care

St. Catherine's Unit

Long known for its quality care and true compassion, the St. Catherine's Unit in Sacred Heart Hospital is designated for inpatient care of cancer patients. St. Catherine's is a 39-bed unit which features all private rooms complete with private baths.

The unit receives daily recognition of its commitment in the form of personal thanks from patients and their families, cards, letters, gifts and, very often, lasting friendships with former patients.

Palliative Care (End-of-Life Care)

Palliative or end-of-life care provided at Sacred Heart promotes the relief of suffering through a comprehensive team approach to the physical, psychological, spiritual and practical needs of terminally ill patients and those close to them. Palliative care is special care given to patients with progressive and advanced disease (of any kind as well as cancer), where prognosis for survival is limited.

Breast Cancer Services

The Ann L. Baroco Center for Breast Health is a free-standing facility dedicated to breast imaging and early detection of breast cancer. The Center uses a combination of some of the most advanced education, diagnosis and treatment services available. From support groups and state-of-the-art imaging to the latest biopsy techniques and treatments, patients receive the very best of care.
