Our Huntsman Cancer Institute Affiliation
Madisonhealth Cancer Care is an affiliate of Huntsman Cancer Institute. Dedicated Nurse Practitioner, nurses, and staff are available full-time in Rexburg with a Huntsman provider seeing patients one day each week. This hybrid matches “The Best in Cancer” with “Hometown Service”.
Dr. Shiven Patel travels from Huntsman Cancer Insitute Salt Lake City, UT 2-3 times a month on Wednesdays and meets with patients in our Cancer Care clinic attached to Madison Memorial Hospital.
