MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER and Summit Medical Group in New Jersey announced the launch of their partnership to create the Summit Medical Group MD Anderson Cancer Center.
An extension of MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper in Camden, N.J., Summit Medical Group will now be clinically and operationally integrated with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper joined MD Anderson Cancer Network, a program of MD Anderson Cancer Center, in 2013.
With a special emphasis on continuity of care, the new center will provide integrated, multidisciplinary cancer care for patients in northern New Jersey. The program, which provides medical oncology, infusion and diagnostic imaging, is already in place at Summit Medical Group’s campus in Berkeley Heights.
Plans are underway to build a state-of-the-art, 130,000-square-foot building adjacent to Summit Medical Group’s new facility in Florham Park, with future services to include radiation oncology. Groundbreaking is expected at the new site this summer.
