At the Willmar Regional Cancer Center (WRCC), our mission is clear: to promote the health and well-being of patients diagnosed with cancer in communities located throughout the West Central and Southwestern region of Minnesota.

The WRCC is fully accredited by the American College of Surgeons. As a Community Hospital Cancer Program approved by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, Rice Memorial Hospital has been providing quality cancer care to adult patients since 1989.

The WRCC participates in the North Central Cancer Treatment Group as a Mayo Clinic Affiliate. Participation in this organization allows our patients access to national clinical trials and the latest in cancer therapies.

The newly integrated center combines the medical oncology services of Affiliated Community Medical Center with the radiation oncology services of Rice Memorial Hospital into one comprehensive cancer treatment center. This joint venture is owned by Willmar Medical Services.

On Dec. 14, 2009, the newly remodeled center, which is located on the Rice Memorial Hospital campus, completed its integration of all radiation and chemotherapy oncology services.

Also in 2009, Willmar Regional Cancer Center began an affiliation with the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute in order to provide the most comprehesive continuity of care for cancer patients in this region.
