Edwards Cancer Institute

Joining Together in the Fight Against Cancer

To provide the communities we serve with truly comprehensive cancer care, Rivers Health has partnered with the state-of-the-art Edwards  Cancer Institute (ECI) and providers, Matias Valsecchi, MD, and Damian Silbermins, MD, to deliver expert oncology and general hematology care for a broad range of conditions, right here at Rivers Health.

Through the partnership between Rivers Health and the Edwards Cancer Institute, patients in Point Pleasant and the surrounding areas have access to the full range of resources, specialists and clinical trials at the ECI – without ever having to leave their community. When highly specialized services such as surgical oncology, radiation oncology or orthopedic oncology are needed, the partnership ensures a seamless transition for patients and their families. Patients may stay in Huntington for advanced treatments, with lodging assistance provided by the ECI, and then return to Point Pleasant as soon as possible for the remainder of their treatment and care.

Combining the comfort and familiarity of a neighborhood hospital with the expertise and resources of an academic cancer institute means truly comprehensive cancer care for the communities we serve.
