St. Joseph’s/Candler, Liberty Regional partner to bring the latest in cancer care to Hinesville region
Liberty Regional Medical Center and the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion at St. Joseph’s/Candler are partners in delivering the latest oncology and hematology treatments to Liberty County residents.
This partnership was fueled by the commitment of the Liberty community who came together to raise more than $400,000 to bring in needed chemotherapy and medical oncology services.
But it also fits perfectly with the Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion’s longstanding goal to bring the best cancer treatments to people where they live. The fundraising drive resulted in a new oncology space on the Liberty Regional campus and the recruitment of Dr. Ajaz Bulbul, who is board certified in both oncology and hematology and serves as the medical director.
We are located at 455 S. Main Street, Suite 202, Hinesville, Ga. 31313, near Liberty Regional Medical Center.

And just like patients seen at our main Savannah location, patients in Hinesville can benefit from our clinical effectiveness teams, who meet regularly to discuss individual cancer cases to insure the best treatment regimen is being offered.
St. Joseph’s/Candler and the LCRP have had a longstanding goal to bring the best cancer treatments to people where they live. We’ve been rapidly expanding cancer treatment programs across the region for the benefit and convenience of our patients. Additional centers have opened in Jesup, Statesboro, Pembroke, in addition to our expansion in Bluffton and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
