Talk to Our Cancer Nurse NavigatorA note about radiation therapy locations
Beginning October 2, 2026, radiation oncology treatments currently provided at Wayne Cancer Center will move to other Dayton Physicians Network locations. Wayne Cancer Center remains open and continues to provide medical oncology, infusion, navigation, laboratory, imaging, rehabilitation, and supportive care.
Wayne Cancer Center
Wayne Cancer Center opened in 2013 to bring oncology services to Darke County so patients would not have to drive to Dayton for every appointment, every scan, and every infusion.
Today the center provides medical oncology, chemotherapy and biotherapy infusion, cancer navigation, laboratory and imaging services, rehabilitation, and supportive care. Our oncology team works alongside Wayne HealthCare's surgeons, imaging staff, dietitians, and rehabilitation specialists, which means your records, your scans, and your care plan stay in one place.
Treatment is hard enough. Getting to it should not be.

Accredited by the Commission on Cancer
Wayne HealthCare has been accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, with commendation, since 2010.
Accreditation is voluntary and it is not easy to get. Programs are measured against standards covering diagnosis, treatment, prevention, early detection, quality monitoring, research, and patient education. Fewer than a third of hospitals treating cancer in the United States hold it.
For a critical access hospital in a county of 51,000 people, it means the care you receive in Greenville is measured against the same national standards as programs in much larger cities.
Start With One Phone Call
Most people do not know what to ask after a diagnosis. That is what a cancer nurse navigator is for.
Heather Kremer, RN
Heather helps patients and families understand their care plan, coordinate appointments across departments, prepare questions for their oncologist, and connect with financial, transportation, and emotional support resources.
There is no charge and you do not need a referral to talk to her. If you have just been diagnosed and do not know where to begin, begin here.
Call Heather at 937-547-5079Meet Your Cancer Care Team
Cancer treatment involves oncology providers, certified oncology nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and imaging staff. At Wayne, they work in the same building and talk to each other about your case.
Medical Oncology
Diagnoses cancer, builds your treatment plan, and directs chemotherapy, biotherapy, and ongoing care.
Oncology Nursing
Certified oncology nurses deliver infusions, monitor side effects, and are your point of contact between visits.
Pharmacy
Reviews and prepares every chemotherapy and biotherapy order for safety and accuracy before it reaches you.
Nutrition and Dietitians
Helps manage appetite, weight, and side effects through treatment with a plan built around what you can actually eat.
Social Work
Connects you with financial assistance, transportation, and emotional support for you and your family.
Rehabilitation and Imaging
Physical therapy, lymphedema care, laboratory, and imaging staff work alongside oncology to track your progress.
Your Cancer Care Journey
Every case is different, but most patients move through the same four stages. Here is what each one looks like at Wayne.
Screening and Early Detection
Cancer found early is more treatable. Screenings available through Wayne HealthCare include:
- Breast cancer screening (mammography)
- Colon cancer screening
- Lung cancer screening
- Cervical cancer screening
- Prostate cancer screening
- Skin cancer screening
Diagnosis and Planning
Our team coordinates testing, imaging, and specialist consultations, then works with you and your physician to build a treatment plan. Your navigator helps you understand each option before you decide.
Treatment
Treatment may include:
- Medical oncology
- Chemotherapy and biotherapy infusion
- Surgical oncology
- Radiation therapy coordination
- Laboratory and imaging
- National clinical trials
Recovery and Survivorship
Healing continues after treatment ends. Support includes rehabilitation and lymphedema therapy, nutrition counseling, social work, palliative and hospice care, and survivorship programs.
National Clinical Trials, Without Leaving Darke County
Wayne HealthCare partners with the Dayton Clinical Oncology Program, a nonprofit consortium of hospitals across Ohio and Indiana funded by the National Cancer Institute.
That partnership gives Darke County patients access to national cancer clinical trials that are normally only available at large academic centers. Many standard treatments used today exist because of past trials.
Trials fall into several categories, including prevention, early detection and screening, treatment, quality of life, behavioral studies, and genetic studies. Whether a trial is right for you depends on your cancer type and stage.
Ask your oncologist or your navigator whether a clinical trial is an option for your diagnosis.
About the Dayton Clinical Oncology ProgramWhy this matters for a rural hospital
Clinical trial access is one of the clearest differences between a community cancer program and a large regional center. Most critical access hospitals cannot offer it.
Through the DCOP consortium, Wayne can. It is one of the reasons a patient can weigh staying local against driving to Dayton and reasonably choose to stay.
Common Questions
I was just diagnosed. What should I do first?
Call our cancer nurse navigator, Heather Kremer, RN, at 937-547-5079. She will help you understand your diagnosis, figure out what questions to ask, coordinate your appointments, and connect you with support resources. There is no cost and no referral needed.
Is Wayne Cancer Center closing?
No. Wayne Cancer Center remains open. Beginning October 2, 2026, radiation therapy treatments will move to Dayton Physicians Network locations, but medical oncology, infusion services, cancer navigation, laboratory and imaging services, rehabilitation, and supportive care all continue at Wayne.
Do I need a referral to be seen at Wayne Cancer Center?
Most cancer patients arrive by referral from their primary care physician or a specialist after a diagnosis or an abnormal screening result. Some insurance plans require one. You do not need a referral to speak with our cancer nurse navigator.
What kinds of cancer does Wayne HealthCare treat?
Wayne Cancer Center provides medical oncology and infusion care for a range of cancer types, and coordinates surgical oncology with Wayne HealthCare surgeons for breast, colon, and other cancers. Some diagnoses are best treated at a larger regional center, and our team will tell you plainly when that is the case and help arrange it.
Can I get chemotherapy in Greenville?
Yes. Chemotherapy and biotherapy infusions are provided at Wayne Cancer Center and at the infusion center on the Wayne HealthCare campus. All of our oncology nurses have specialized training in chemotherapy and biotherapy, and several hold oncology nursing certification.
What if I cannot afford treatment or cannot get there?
Transportation assistance may be available through the Wayne HealthCare Foundation for eligible patients traveling for treatment. Contact Lauren Henry, Executive Director, at 937-569-6408. For billing and financial questions, Wayne HealthCare offers financial assistance and prompt pay discounts. Your navigator can help you start either conversation.
