Through the partnership, physicians at Samaritan’s newly expanded Pastega Regional Cancer Center in Corvallis will be able to virtually connect in real time with Stanford physicians to discuss treatment options and complex cancer cases, as well as participate in educational programs.

Samaritan expects construction to be completed in November on the Pastega Regional Cancer Center.
