For many years, cancer patients in the area have received cancer services at Piedmont Henry Hospital. The Cancer Program, which is supported by PHH surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists, is an American College of Surgeons accredited cancer program. It has been a dream of many to have radiation therapy, a key component in the treatment of cancer, on the main campus of the hospital. After much planning and through a joint venture between Piedmont Henry Hospital and Radiation Oncology Services, the new Henry Radiation Oncology Center is now open.
The physician staff of Radiation Oncology Services brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Henry Radiation Oncology Center. ROS has been a leader in Radiation Therapy in the metropolitan Atlanta area since 1985. While ROS’ board-certified physicians provide care to all patients in need of radiation therapy, ROS physicians have special interest and expertise in the treatment of prostate, breast, gynecologic and head/neck cancers.

Leading Edge Technology.
The center features:
Elekta Synergy®: The state-of-the-art linear accelerator for the delivery of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. Synergy® combines the most advanced radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), with image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in order to treat a cancer with precision and accuracy while sparing the normal organs around the cancer. Cancer patients also benefit from new technology that shortens IMRT treatments to just minutes a day.
Treatment Planning: The Philips Pinnacle® treatment planning computer allows the radiation oncologist to customize a specific treatment plan for each individual patient. With the help of the sophisticated Pinnacle® system, the radiation oncologist views the radiation dose in 3-dimensions thus maximizing the cancer killing radiation to the cancer while minimizing the radiation to other areas of the body. The overall goal is to cure the cancer while minimizing the treatment related side effects.
Electronic Medical Records (EMR): The Center will operate in a paperless environment through oncology-specific software from IMPAC®. Medical records are electronically integrated to include all medical reports, consultations, x-rays, radiation treatment records, nursing assessments and billing information.
