Mildred Milliman Radiation Medicine Center

Phone: 716-373-7134

Olean General Hospital, in collaboration with Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI), now offers world-class radiation medicine at the Mildred Milliman Radiation Medicine Center.

Located at 1415 Buffalo Street in Olean, the Radiation Medicine Center is equipped with a Varian Linear Accelerator. This state of the art radiation therapy technology allows patients in Olean to receive the same level of radiation medicine that cancer patients receive at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. The linear accelerator is designed to deliver Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) that enables radiation oncologists to deliver treatment more accurately. The equipment also provides respiratory gating and portal imaging for precision focus.

This state of the art technology will allow the Center to treat all cancers that respond to radiation therapy, including prostate, breast, head and neck, lung, colorectal, and brain tumors.

Under the terms of a clinical services agreement for radiation medicine, Roswell Park Cancer Institute provides full-time on-site radiation oncology physicians and full-time medical physicists to treat patients at the center to oversee all treatment planning and quality assurance activities. In addition to a state of the art linear accelerator, the center also has a CT Simulator for treatment planning.

Advanced PET/CT scanning is available on the Olean General Hospital campus to complement treatment options.

Gregory Hare, MD, Medical Director

Gregory Hare, MD

Dr. Gregory Hare joined Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) in 2000, as a fellow in the Department of Radiation Medicine. Following completion of his training, Dr. Hare joined the faculty of RPCI in 2004 as an Assistant Professor in Radiation Medicine. Since then, he served as the on-site Medical Director of Radiation Medicine at both Buffalo Medical Group (BMG) in Williamsville, New York and more recently at Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) in Ithaca, New York. Both organizations are premier affiliate sites of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. While serving as the on-site Medical Director for both BMG and CMC, Dr. Hare was instrumental in initiating new technologies to enhance radiation therapy delivery and to minimize side effects that can be associated with radiation treatment. Dr. Hare also facilitated the implementation of Roswell Park’s first use of the video-teleconferencing technology. This technology allows patient cases to be peer-reviewed, including review of pathology slides and radiation treatment plans, by the team of specialists at Roswell Park, prior to patients starting their radiation treatment. This process ensures that patients are receiving the same radiation treatment plan that would be offered at Roswell Park.

Dr. Hare earned his medical degree from Loma Linda University in Southern California in 1997, followed by additional training in internal medicine at New York Medical College. He is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Radiation Oncology. His areas of interest include cancers of the lung, head and neck, prostate, gastrointestinal system and breast. He has authored a number of peer reviewed articles and abstracts in the areas of head and neck cancer, lung and breast cancers and is a member of many professional organizations.

Dr. Hare is excited about the role of Medical Director of the Mildred Milliman Radiation Medicine Center of Olean General Hospital. His plans for the near future include providing patients access to national clinical trials in radiation oncology and video-teleconferencing interface to facilitate peer review of all patient treatment plans prior to patients initiating treatment.
