The Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center
at FHN Memorial Hospital

The Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center at FHN Memorial Hospital in Freeport provides state-of-the-art treatments usually only available in university hospitals, allowing patients to receive excellent treatment without traveling far from family, friends and other support systems.
