Nice to see RWJBarnabas Health and the Rutgers Cancer Institute opening up the Jack and Sheryl Morris Cancer Center in New Brunswick. This is New Jersey’s only freestanding, fully comprehensive cancer hospital and is one of only 13 freestanding cancer hospitals in the United States. It's the kind of facility nobody even wants to have to go to, but it's also the kind of facility I think many will appreciate having in our backyard. Nice excerpt, below, from the link.
“Today is a historic day for our health system, the State of New Jersey, and beyond, as we cut the ribbon on the state’s first and only freestanding cancer hospital, and one of only 13 in the country. This hospital is true to our mission of building and sustaining a healthier New Jersey. It is further evidence of RWJBarnabas Health’s commitment to taking care of the communities we serve and providing patients the most advanced care possible, close to home,” said Mark E. Manigan, president and chief executive officer for RWJBarnabas Health. “I am proud to say that RWJBarnabas Health, together with Rutgers Cancer Institute, is advancing a bold vision – to beat cancer together. This incredible facility is the cornerstone of a $1.5 billion investment in cancer services that we are making across the Garden State. Together, we are providing patients with access to an unparalleled network of talented physicians, advanced treatment options and patient-centered services that are transforming the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer in New Jersey and beyond.”
