Providing the Most Effective Care
Close to Home
At the Cancer Institute of Greenville Health System (GHS), our core philosophy is anchored in providing the most effective, most targeted cancer care available in the world. We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for those with cancer in our community and beyond through clinical excellence and research. We understand that cancer care is about comfort, compassion and enhanced access to care, so we focus on treating the whole person, not just the disease. This means patients do not have to leave the Upstate to receive high-quality cancer care. In fact, many people travel to GHS Cancer Institute from outside our state to receive care.
