Patient grateful for quality cancer care close to home in White County

IU Health White Memorial Hospital

IU Health provider talks with a man and woman in a clinic room.

John Erickson is a 5th generation farmer in White County. Last year doctors diagnosed him with pancreatic cancer. John assumed he would be making regular, 25-mile trips to Lafayette for chemotherapy, but then learned the same high-quality care was available to him at IU Health White Memorial Hospital. "We're only about seven miles from White Memorial. You can tell they're dedicated to what they do here. I wouldn't go any place else."
