William H. West, MD, was a nationally respected oncologist and lead investigator for the National Institutes of Health in Washington, D.C. Following the loss of his mother to breast cancer, his mission became clear: to provide world-class cancer treatment and research capabilities in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
In 1979, Dr. West’s goal became reality, and the doors of what would become West Clinic officially opened.
West Cancer Center embraces the mission to improve quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of cancer care for all patients regardless of regional location and socioeconomic status.
Our commitment to translate cancer science into revolutionary treatment protocols is
