Ambulatory Care Chemotherapy Unit (ACCU)

The hours of operation in the ACCU are Monday-Friday 08:15-19:00. The unit has a reception desk and 8 treatment rooms. Each room has 3 to 4 treatment chairs that recline for patient's comfort.

In this unit all chemotherapy drugs are administered intravenously. Patients may receive a single drug or a combination depending on their type of cancer. The length of stay for treatments is between 30 minutes to 8 hours; patients receiving longer treatments are encouraged to bring a book, personal music player, or their favourite drinks and snacks for their time in the treatment unit.
