Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics
Care close to home
When the diagnosis is cancer, one of the
most important decisions a person will ever make is where to go for
treatment. Some people have to travel great distances to find a first-class
cancer hospital.
But if you or someone you love has cancer, you don't need to go far to get the superior quality of a major cancer
hospital. Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics offer excellent care in the
heart of your community.
The first Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic was
established at Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center
in Milwaukee in 1989. Named after the legendary Green Bay Packers coach
who lost his life to cancer, the clinic was founded to serve patients and
families with the level of passion and quest for excellence that were
synonymous with Lombardi's teams.

cancer research in the country. Our oncologists and other cancer
