Harris Regional Invites Community to Cancer Center Open House November 12

Harris Regional Hospital invites community members to attend an open house at Harris Regional Cancer Center on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The event will provide an opportunity for patients, families, and community members to meet the radiation oncology team, including radiation oncologist Jarred Tanskley, MD and nurse practitioner Amy Sims, APRN, C-NP, MSN, BSN, RN, FNP-C, ACNPC-AG, CWCN-AP, tour the facility, and learn more about the radiation oncology services available close to home.

Located at 14 Medical Park Loop in Sylva, Harris Regional Cancer Center serves patients throughout western North Carolina, providing access to radiation therapy within their local community. The center's radiation oncology team works collaboratively with local medical oncologists and other healthcare providers to support coordinated cancer care for patients across the region. The open house offers an opportunity for attendees to become more familiar with the center, connect with healthcare professionals, and learn about the resources available to individuals and families navigating a cancer diagnosis.

During the event, guests will have the opportunity to meet providers and members of the radiation oncology team, explore the center through facility tours, and learn more about the services offered. Light refreshments will also be provided.

For individuals facing a cancer diagnosis, having access to care close to home can make a meaningful difference. Familiarity with the care team, treatment environment, and available services can help patients and their loved ones feel more informed and supported throughout their healthcare journey.

The open house also provides an opportunity for community members who may not currently need cancer care to learn more about the center and the role it plays in supporting patients and families across the region.

The event is open to the community, and attendees are welcome to stop by Harris Regional Cancer Center at 14 Medical Park Loop in Sylva between 4:30 and 6 p.m. on November 12. Whether seeking information about available radiation oncology services or simply wanting to become more familiar with the facility and its team, guests are encouraged to attend.
