As a patient at Bronson, not only do you have access to cutting-edge medicine and technology to help you heal, but your cancer provider is connected to a large, multidisciplinary team that helps coordinate your care every step of the way.

Southwest Michigan's Most Experienced Cancer Team

When you choose Bronson for your cancer care, you have a whole team of experts helping you heal. Your team may include oncologists, surgeons, nurse navigators, primary care providers and other specialists. We are the region's first choice for cancer-related surgery and have provided comprehensive cancer care in Battle Creek for over three decades.

Nationally Recognized Cancer Care

The Bronson Battle Creek Cancer Care Center has a history of “firsts” and is nationally recognized for excellence. It is one of only 25 centers in the country to earn the Commission on Cancer's Outstanding Achievement Award.

Our Battle Creek radiation oncology program holds the prestigious ASTRO APEx accreditation - meaning we have a proven track record of providing the highest level of safe, patient-centered radiation treatment. At the time of accreditation, BBC was one of only 24 such centers in the nation, and continues to be one of just three APEx-accredited cancer centers in Michigan.

Additionally, if you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, feel secure choosing Bronson for cancer treatment. With our state of the art technology and the use of scientific evidence in treating patients, Bronson Battle Creek is an Accredited Breast Center.
