Parking

Parking is free and available in the lot by the entrance to the Patricia D. Pepe Center for Cancer Care. To get there, turn off of Roxbury Road as if you’re heading to the medical center. Then take the first right, followed by another right. Continue straight down that drive. Signage is posted along the way to guide you.

Prepare for Your First Visit

We’re here to help make your first treatment as stress-free as possible. After parking, you’ll check in at the front desk. Bring your ID, insurance and a list of medications.

You’ll meet your care team and learn about your treatment. Please feel free to ask any questions. Chemotherapy takes longer, while radiation is quicker but more frequent. We offer snacks, blankets and drinks, but you can bring your own.x

To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, we kindly ask that no more than two adult visitors come with you to your appointment. Visitors age 14 and older are welcome to wait in the lobby. If you need to bring a child under 14, please make sure another adult is available to stay with them in the waiting area. Because of space and safety concerns, we may need to reschedule your visit if no one is available to watch your child during treatment.

Our focus is your comfort and care throughout the process.
