Consultants in Blood Disorders and Cancer, or CBC, is a community-based team practice of board-certified specialists in adult hematology and medical oncology. Dr. Marion F. Beard, the first hematologist to practice in the state of Kentucky, founded our practice in 1947. Since then CBC has expanded to include ten physicians with a caring, experienced staff, all of whom are wholly devoted to delivering the best patient care in Kentucky.
