The Cancer Center is the Hudson Valley’s top resource for personalized care of all cancers. Experienced physicians, surgeons, scientists and technicians embrace sophisticated technologies to provide a comprehensive “one-stop” approach that maximizes outcomes for patients while minimizing side effects. Indeed, the Center’s generations of trusted care includes establishment of the region's first full-service Radiation Medicine program 20 years ago, and the oldest, most active bone-marrow transplant program in the region.
