Hope & Healing Cancer Services to Celebrate New Morris Location with Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Open House
Community celebration set for September 17 to mark the clinic’s opening earlier this year
MORRIS, Ill. — September 1, 2026 — Hope & Healing Cancer Services (HHCS) today announced plans to formally celebrate its new outpatent oncology clinic and infusion center at 1515 Creek Drive in Morris, Illinois, which opened its doors earlier this year. The clinic extends the organizaton’s comprehensive cancer care to patents and families throughout Grundy County and neighboring communities, reducing the distance many must travel to receive advanced treatment.

Community members, physicians, and healthcare partners are invited to tour the facility, now several months into serving local patents, and meet the Hope & Healing care team.
The Morris location responds to a longstanding gap in local access to medical oncology and chemotherapy services.

Under her leadership, the Morris clinic will deliver personalized, evidence-based treatment in a welcoming, community-oriented setng.
