OhioHealth honors Marion oncologist for expanding care

A personal loss helped set Dr. Arvinder Bhinder on a path to transform cancer care in Marion. More than a decade after joining OhioHealth , Bhinder has been honored for helping bring specialized treatment, precision medicine and clinical trials closer to patients. Bhinder received the Distinguished Service in Medical Oncology Award on Oct. 9 at OhioHealth's Fall Cancer Conference, according to a community announcement. The recognition honors his work helping expand cancer services in Marion and across the OhioHealth system. His interest in oncology grew from a personal loss. During his first year of medical school in India, Bhinder learned his mother had breast cancer. His family struggled to find specialized care, with the nearest cancer center requiring a two-day train ride. She died less than a year later. "For a long time, I was afraid of cancer," Bhinder said. "But during my training, I saw how research and innovation were transforming outcomes for patients. It opened my eyes to the possibility of making a real difference in people's lives." Building cancer care in Marion After residency training at the University at Buffalo, Bhinder joined a research program at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. He later completed a fellowship in
