The Cancer Center serves patients from Montrose, Gunnison, Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride and many other surrounding communities.  These patients are able to receive the same level of care and see the same radiation physicians they have been seeing in Grand Junction, without driving 60 miles to get there.  This service makes radiation treatment easier on the patient, their family and friends.  “This represents the culmination of a lot of hard work and exemplifies our vision of working towards a collaborative approach of providing healthcare in the region,” said Bob Ladenburger, President/CEO of St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center. Montrose Memorial Hospital has an association with the University of Colorado Cancer Center for medical oncology services which brings world renowned physicians from the University to Montrose to care for patients locally.  This association will continue to be a part of the Montrose Memorial Hospital cancer treatment program.  “The association with the University of Colorado Cancer Center oncologists, along with the radiation oncology service, brings complete cancer care to the community,” added Mary Snyder, Montrose Memorial Hospital Chief Operating Officer Medical Oncology Robert Kilbourn, MD, FACP                         Board Certified Office:  600 S. 5th St. Montrose, CO  81401        970-497-8001 Medical School: University of Texas Medical School  Houston, TX Internship/ Residency:    Duke University Medical Center  Durham, NC Fellowship: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center  Houston, TX John C.
