Eisenhower was the first hospital in the Coachella Valley to offer the newest treatment option for men with early stage prostate cancer TheraSeed radioactive seed implants. The seeds are positioned in the prostate gland so that low-level radiation is distributed continuously for several months. For many men, the seed implant procedure is a viable alternative to radical surgery. The type of research typically found at university-based medical centers is conducted in the fields of cancer care, orthopedics, infectious diseases and cardiology. Eisenhower s contributions to exploring new treatment methods in these fields are shaping the future of medicine around the world.
