Zimmer Cancer Center
 At New Hanover Regional Medical Center and the Zimmer Cancer Center we recognize caring for a person with cancer involves much more than treating the cancer itself. While our oncology specialists have decades of experience and use advanced cancer-fighting technology to give patients the best chance of overcoming the disease, their clinical expertise is just a part of what makes New Hanover Regional Medical Center an exceptional place to receive cancer care.

Juanita Rappleye: Radiofrequency Ablation
Surgery Heals with Heat
 A poodle’s loud yipping nearly
