Highlands Oncology

This new bell honors the memory of Melanie Sullivan in the clinical trial infusion suite - a beloved teammate and friend whose strength continues to inspire.

"I ring this bell as a symbol of perseverance. It takes great strength to walk through these doors and accept this journey as the new normal. I ring this bell in celebration of the little victories - receiving good news, reaching a milestone, or just celebrating that today is a good day. I am here to fight. I am here to win. I am ready to face the challenge within."

Clinical trials day was extra special this year at Highlands. We celebrated by hosting an open house for our new comprehensive Clinical Trials Suite in the Springdale location! It was a great opportunity to come together, collaborate, and share the innovative work our team has been leading for more than 26 years.

This new space marks a major milestone in our journey forward, as we continue expanding access to care through more than 150 active clinical trials.

The Clinical Trials Suite officially began seeing patients this year and was thoughtfully designed to support the unique needs of research participants. Unlike traditional care, clinical trial patients often require carefully coordinated labs, imaging, provider visits, treatments, and study-specific testing. All of this must happen on precise timelines and follow strict protocols. Our new space allows us to deliver that level of coordination more efficiently and more seamlessly for every patient.

We are proud of how this program has grown in partnership with our community partners and are looking forward to the medical breakthroughs to come!
