HOAF is dedicated to bringing this region progressive treatment and compassionate care for cancer. We’re also dedicated to making that care as accessible as possible, which is one reason why we continue to accept Cigna at both locations. Please call us if you have any concerns about your coverage. We’re here to help.

As the unfortunate number of COVID-19 cases continue to rise, our priority will remain to keep you, your family, and our staff safe. We have determined at this time that to lower the potential for exposures, we will need to limit the number of visitors in our office. We understand the importance of having them with you; however, we must remain diligent in our infection prevention efforts.
Effective 12/21/2020, we are allowing visitors for the following visits ONLY:
All other visits we ask that you be prepared to attend only. Our infusion center continues to strictly follow the NO VISITOR policy.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these restrictions. Keeping you on schedule for your visits and treatments is our number one priority and the best way to ensure this happens is keeping you and our staff safe and healthy.
As the COVID pandemic continues, our COVID Task Force will continue to evaluate statistics and follow CDC and VDH guidelines. Visitor restrictions will be lifted when and if it is deemed safe and appropriate.
