Lake Charles Memorial Health System is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Hematologist/Medical Oncologist to join its cancer program during a period of active growth and transformation. Leadership is committed to building a comprehensive regional cancer program and wants a physician who will help shape the future of oncology services, not simply maintain the current model.
