Major Expansion of Crowley Clinic Completed
On June 23rd, 2009, at 4 p.m., we officially
reopened our beautifully renovated Crowley facility, followed
by a ribbon cutting ceremony. In attendance were Crowley
Mayor Greg Jones and a full house of residents and business
owners. “The
expansion of our Crowley facility was necessary to accommodate
all of our patients and their therapeutic needs," stated
Andrew Harwood, M.D., F.R.C.P., the primary radiation oncologist
at the Crowley Clinic. M. Maitland DeLand, M.D., C.E.O.
of OncoLogics, added, “we
invested well over a million dollars in this project so
that our patients will receive the finest, most effective
cancer therapy available today. We added over 1,100 square
feet to the building, allowing OncoLogics’ dedicated
staff members to help our patients in a more efficient
and comfortable environment.”
OncoLogics Clinic is located in Crowley’s
medical district at 1108 East 8th Street, Crowley, Louisiana.
For information concerning OncoLogics, or to speak with
Dr. Harwood or other team members of the Crowley Clinic,

Childhood cancers are cancers that primarily affect children,
teens and young adults. When cancer strikes children
and young people, it affects them differently than it
does adults. For example, young patients often have a
more advanced stage of cancer when first diagnosed. Childhood
cancers are mostly those of the white blood cells (leukemia's),
brain, bone, the lymphatic system and tumors of the muscles,
kidneys and nervous system.
