The cornerstone of Covenant Health’s cancer care program is Joe Arrington
Cancer Research and Treatment Center (JACC). This center of excellence
brings world-class cancer care to the West Texas and Eastern New Mexico
region. Its mission is to treat not just the disease, but the whole person—body,
mind and spirit.
JACC offers a wide range of services and programs that are guided by the
vision of:
- Providing state-of-the-art treatment and equipment
- Developing and supporting oncology clinical research
- Healing through a holistic approach
- Providing leaders on national oncology committees and boards
- Enhancing the quality of life for women through the comprehensive breast center
JACC opened in 1995 and is named in honor of Dr. Joe O. Arrington, Jr.,
a long-time Lubbock physician whose level of caring for patients and their
families was truly inspirational. JACC has grown to more than 60,000 square
feet of clinical space and more than 22,000 square feet of supporting
office space in the Medical Office Building.
As part of Covenant's ongoing mission to provide the very latest in
proven innovations, we bring you the Elekta Leskell Gamma Knife-C, a safer,
non-invasive alternative to open neurosurgical operations for many conditions.
At JACC we are a team of surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists,
radiation therapists, experienced oncology nurses and pharmacists, along
