Cancer ServicesOver the last decade, Day Kimball Hospital has made a substantial investment in expanding the cancer care services it offers to the community. In addition to building new facilities and purchasing new technology, the hospital has added a number of preventive, diagnostic, treatment and after care services to assist cancer patients. In the important area of prevention, nearly 200 local women without health insurance or with inadequate coverage receive early screening mammograms or Pap tests through the Connecticut Breast and Cervical Cancer Program or the hospital’s “Deary Fund” every year New facilities for detection services at the hospital include the Doris Madeira Endoscopy Suite and the beautiful Day Kimball Hospital Women’s Board Mammography Center.

The hospital also offers highly advanced pain management services through a Pain Management Center and two board certified pain management specialist physicians.
