 Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics
National Cancer Survivors Day Celebration in Sheboygan
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.
 The services, resources and philosophy of care have been extended to benefit
patients beyond the greater Milwaukee area. See the map for
