Expert Care.
Here at home.
The Sarah Bush Lincoln Regional Cancer Center is dedicated to delivering comprehensive cancer care with technology, professional service, education and support. Our guiding principle is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care close to home, offering the resources and expertise found in larger metropolitan hospitals.

State-of-the-art
Treatment Facility
The building was designed with input from our patients. They noted the desire to see outdoors during lengthy chemotherapy treatments; they wanted a facility that didn’t feel sterile, but created a nurturing and comforting feeling. They wanted their own space, but with the option to talk with others during treatment, and they wanted space for their visitors as well. The design team listened.
The building features a fully glassed infusion room so patients and their guests can enjoy the sunshine and changing seasons outdoors. The Healing Garden features a soothing view. The floor tile is laid in a leaf pattern, while nurses’ stations, receptionist desks and soffits are curved, resembling leaves. The color choices are warm and the locally shot nature art is inspirational.
Diagnostic Services
Cutting-edge technologies include PET/CT scans, MRI, nuclear medicine, sentinel lymph node biopsies, 3D mammography, stereotactic breast biopsies, colonoscopies, colorectal cancer screening and bronchoscopies.

ION Robotic System for
Lung Nodule Diagnosis
The ION Robotic System offers a revolutionary approach to diagnosing lung cancer with precision and efficiency.
- Unmatched Precision: This robotic-assisted bronchoscopy system enables precise navigation within the lungs to biopsy suspicious nodules.
- Comprehensive Reach: The ION can access all areas of the lungs, ensuring thorough examination and biopsy, even of previously inaccessible nodules.
- Early Detection: Early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment. With the ION, patients can receive a diagnosis at an early, curable stage of lung cancer.
- Efficiency: In a single procedure, the ION facilitates both the diagnosis of nodules and staging of the disease by evaluating lymph nodes.
