The diagnosis of cancer for yourself or your loved one can be a frightening and stressful experience. At Sydney Adventist Hospital our mission is to treat the ‘whole’ person, ensuring that all required support is provided during this challenging time.
The San is renowned for excellence in cancer care services offering a range of treatments, care options and support services for patients and carers. These include specialised diagnostic procedures, multidisciplinary cancer teams, surgery, follow-up treatment options and care from specialist oncology nurses, allied health and medical professionals.
Patients who require a day-stay infusion or chemotherapy will attend the San Day Infusion Centre located on Level 4 of the San Clinic. If an overnight stay is required, patients may be admitted to the Hospital's Poon Oncology Ward or accommodation can be organised on campus at Jacaranda Lodge. Our Poon Oncology Ward offers bright, well-appointed private patient rooms with ensuites, a quiet room for patients and visitors and features a relaxing indoor atrium and garden which is reserved especially for cancer patients, their families and visitors. Sydney Adventist Hospital is committed to providing sensible, caring and appropriate support at all times during the cancer journey including palliative care support under the patient's usual specialist and/or a palliative care specialist.
Sydney Radiation and Oncology Centre offers radiation treatment to both inpatients and outpatients and is located on the hospital grounds.
Sydney Haematology & Oncology Clinic (SHOC), owned by the San and located opposite Hornsby Hospital, offers day-only chemotherapy and blood transfusion treatments, complementing the San’s on-campus cancer services. Specialist oncology nurses administer chemotherapy regimes, and there is a clinical oncology pharmacist located on-site.
The San is active in Cancer Research with Clinical trials available at both SHOC and Sydney Adventist Hospital's main campus.

Our Cancer Support team offers a range of educational information, support groups and cancer-specific programs. These services are available, along with our experienced Cancer Care staff, to support you through your cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. Cancer support staff are also able to provide links to national information and support organisations.
