We anticipate that the Cancer Center will have a new hospital sponsor in the very near future, a leading Manhattan institution that will allow us to maintain the same commitment to clinical and service excellence that you have come to know and expect. 

  As we work through this transition, service to our patients will not be interrupted.  Please keep all scheduled appointments.  It is important that patients continue with their treatment plan. The same Cancer
Center physicians and staff will be in the Cancer Center to care for them.  Our number one priority is making sure that all of our patients continue to receive the care they need.  If you have any questions regarding your care, please contact your physician’s office.   Thank you for your patience and understanding.
