People with cancer and those who care about them face many problems and challenges.

Nutrition
Highlands has registered dietitians on staff to support our patients.
Our team of registered dietitians, along with other clinical personnel, is dedicated to addressing the needs of our patients to provide them with the best possible chance in their fight against cancer.
Proper nutrition is essential during cancer treatment for maintaining strength, managing side effects, and aiding recovery. A balanced diet that is rich in plant-based foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help patients better tolerate treatment and may improve outcomes. Some patients may have difficulty eating due to the type or location of their disease and may require specialized methods to ensure they receive vital nutrients.
WOUND, OSTOMY, AND CONTINENCE
We are proud to have Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses (WOCNs).
Our specialized nursing practices aim to improve the quality of life for patients with ostomies, wounds, and continence issues.
Highlands WOCNs collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to create holistic care plans that address the physical and emotional needs of patients. We teach patients how to care for their stoma, manage their ostomy appliances, and recognize signs of complications. Our team also helps patients cope with the psychological impact of living with an ostomy.
Free Lung Cancer Screening Program
NWA LUNG CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM
Our program is an approved Screening Center of Excellence, which ensures the program utilizes national standards and provides the highest quality of care.
Cancer Screening Programs

We are committed to helping you understand your personal risk and connecting you with the necessary information and programs to take full advantage of early detection opportunities when cancer is most treatable.

DIAGNOSTIC
Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging plays a critical role in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Advanced imaging technologies—such as CT, MRI, PET, and ultrasound—allow physicians to identify tumors early, determine their exact location and stage, and monitor how well treatment is working.
Highlands offers a full complement of advanced imaging technology at each of our cancer centers, including PET, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray. This comprehensive on-site imaging capability allows for timely, accurate diagnosis and seamless coordination of care throughout each patient’s treatment journey.
Specialty PETS
At Highlands Oncology, we utilize Specialty PET Scans to provide highly specific and advanced diagnostic information. These cutting-edge scans employ unique radioactive tracers designed to target specific cells or proteins, such as PSMA for prostate cancer, Dotatate/Detectnet for neuroendocrine tumors, and Amyvid for Alzheimer’s.
This functional imaging provides crucial details on the location, extent, and function of disease, enabling our doctors to accurately stage cancer, monitor recurrence, and personalize treatment decisions with the highest level of precision.
CLIA certified lab
CLIA certified means a laboratory has met the federal standards of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) to ensure the quality and accuracy of patient testing.
This certification is required for all U.S. laboratories that perform testing on human specimens and is overseen by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Achieving CLIA certification assures patients that the facility adheres to rigorous quality controls and provides reliable, timely results.
Center For Chest Care
The Center for Chest Care provides multidisciplinary care for patients with cancer of the lung and chest. The specialists needed to diagnose and treat cancers of the lung and chest work together in the same location, at the same time.
