Building on Our Promise to Fruitland
Thanks in large part to the generosity and leadership of the community, Fruitland now has a brand new, state-of-the-art medical plaza, including:
- A full-service, 24/7 emergency department
- Physician offices, including family medicine and internal medicine
- A walk-in clinic for urgent needs
- Lab and medical imaging
- Space for visiting specialists in 12 fields, including cardiology, gynecology, pediatric specialists, orthopedics, and urology
St. Luke’s will invest an additional $25 million over the next several years to implement Phase 2 of the project. For each community dollar raised, St. Luke’s will provide nine additional dollars, for a $9 to $1 match. Phase 2 will include:
- A new St. Luke’s MSTI cancer center
- A new Breast Cancer Detection Center
- A Respite House for cancer patients and their families
- Other needed outpatient services
Expanding Cancer Care in Fruitland
St. Luke’s has been in the Fruitland area since 1994, when St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute (MSTI) and Holy Rosary Medical Center in Ontario, Oregon brought cancer services to the region. Over time, St. Luke’s MSTI has grown into a full-service cancer center in Fruitland, providing skilled, compassionate care for patients and their families, including:
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Access to leading-edge clinical trials
- Nutrition planning and counseling
- Wound care and management
- Pharmacy
- Social services
- Counseling
- Spiritual care
- Integrative Medicine services: massage, meditation, stress management, and strength training
Growing to Serve the Region
The new cancer center is designed to meet the expected growth and demand over the next 10 years, and it won’t be completed a moment too soon. Our total patient volumes have increased 22% over the past five years, with more than 11,000 patient visits and about 300 new cancer patients every year.
We serve a large geographic region, drawing patients from as far west as Burns, Oregon, as far south as McDermott, Nevada, and as far north as Union, Oregon (north of LaGrande). To the east, the next closest cancer services are 35 miles away in Caldwell and Nampa. To the west, the next closest are in Walla Walla, Bend, and Portland.
A Respite House for Patients and Families
The Respite House will be about one block from St. Luke's Fruitland Medical Center and provide a safe and comfortable home away from home, helping ease some of the burdens of travel and allowing families to stay together. The house will include:
- Private bedrooms with bath
- Living room
- Central kitchen and dining area
- Wheelchair accessible rooms and facilities
- Library of books and family videos
- Picnic table, grill, and patio furniture
- RV parking area
