I always strive to provide the highest level of care for my patients, and to care for them as if they were members of my own family.”

“Access to radiation oncology specialists like Dr. Swisher-McClure is a critical component of providing care for a community,” said Maurice Winkfield, Beebe Oncology Services executive director. “Beebe continues to recruit additional providers to offer the most comprehensive cancer program right here in Sussex County for you.”
