When the diagnosis is cancer, you want the best – the best physicians, the best treatment and the best overall care. Providence Holy Cross Cancer Center offers all that in the heart of Santa Clarita where state-of-the-art treatment includes the latest in radiation and oncology. And it’s close to home.
The center, in the Providence Holy Cross Health Center on McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard, is home to cutting-edge technology and procedures, a team of board-certified radiation oncologists and highly trained radiation therapists and oncology nurses. And in May, the UCLA Department of Radiation Oncology will join the team, bringing its renowned expertise to the community.
“What this means is that the community can receive the best and latest outpatient cancer treatment without having to travel to the Valley and beyond,” said Bernard Klein, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for Providence Holy Cross Medical Center.
Providence Holy Cross Cancer Centers’ five-year survival rates for patients treated for various cancers surpass national averages. Among the reasons for this success are the advanced radiation therapies that are available. Those include Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT,) high-precision radiotherapy designed to protect healthy tissue while treating cancer with high-dose radiation.
Other treatments include guided-image therapy where computer images guide physicians directly to the tumor for the most precise treatment, scans that provide three-dimensional images of tumors to help the physician tailor radiation beams.

At the same time, experts help patients with nutrition, exercise and stress reduction.
