The entire month of October we would like to invite our local businesses and community to decorate the outside of their buildings in pink to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer and support our CVMC Hospital Foundation in doing the same as we hang pink ribbons on the light posts throughout the town in partnership with Main Street Gardnerville!
Donate to Breast Cancer Awareness and the CVMC Cancer Center below
Thank you Lois Wray, founder of The Pink Ribbon Fund, and your incredible Pink House staff for a wonderful evening of dining and wine pairing.

Coming to Carson Valley Medical Center means getting the right cancer treatment at the right time from skilled practitioners who care about you. We offer 3 things patients with cancer need most: expertise, compassion, and personalized medical care. We realize cancer is a difficult diagnosis, and that’s why we offer skilled physical and mental care to patients with cancer.
Cancer is an unpredictable and often aggressive disease, but it is treatable. Depending on your specific cancer type, our personalized treatment varies. Our main goal in cancer treatment is stopping the disease from spreading through removing tumors and using medication to destroy lingering cancer cells. Some of the treatments we offer include surgical tumor removal and chemotherapy. Treatment for cancer symptoms and side effects is also important, as cancer treatment doesn’t only involve killing the disease, but help with any damaging side effects, too.
Our Cancer Care services are provided by Hematologist/Oncologist Dr. James Y. Chang, M.D., FACP, a compassionate and highly skilled cancer doctor with board-certification in internal medicine, hematology and medical oncology. Dr. Chang’s approach to cancer care includes holistic treatment that encourages patients to make healthy decisions about nutrition, exercise, and mental wellbeing. Dr. Chang and CVMC’s skilled oncology nurses are here to care for those with cancer and blood-related diseases.
CVMC offers the most sophisticated digital 3D mammography equipment in the industry, which provides a high-quality image to the radiologist for an accurate diagnosis. Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. We offer different types of mammograms to give patients their best chance for early, accurate diagnosis
