Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has joined with hospitals, health systems, physicians, and supportive care teams from across New York to launch the Roswell Park Care Network. Led by Roswell Park, the network is the most expansive community cancer, supportive care, and specialized care affiliation in the region and the only one to offer patients the benefits of a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center.
The Roswell Park Care Network builds on existing partnerships to expand the reach and impact of comprehensive cancer care across Western and Central New York and into nearby communities in Northwest Pennsylvania. The network improves the quality of cancer care by expanding patient access to personalized cancer care plans that are based on national cancer care guidelines, prevention programs, cancer screening, clinical trials, and genomic/genetic testing.
The member centers include the following mix of community practices, hospital affiliates, and clinical research partners: Breast Care of WNY, also known as Roswell Park Breast Surgery (Williamsville, NY); Catholic Health Services Long Island (Rockville Centre, NY); Cayuga Medical Center (Ithaca, NY); Jamestown Medical Oncology & Hematology (Jamestown, NY); Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center (Niagara Falls, NY); Oneida Health Cancer Care (Oneida, NY); Roswell Park Hematology Oncology Northtowns (Williamsville, NY); Roswell Park Hematology Oncology Southtowns (West Seneca, NY); Roswell Park Hematology Oncology of Niagara (Niagara Falls, NY); Roswell Park Urology (Niagara Falls, NY); Southtowns Radiation Oncology, in partnership with Buffalo Medical Group and Catholic Health (Orchard Park, NY); and Upper Allegheny Health System (Olean, NY, and Bradford, PA).
A Shared Mission
Roswell Park Care Network member sites share a mission to enable better quality and efficiency in care by ensuring that patients have access to the newest technology and most innovative therapies available. Member teams diagnose and treat all types and stages of cancers and also offer access to physicians who specialize in the treatment of noncancerous conditions as well.
The network has been launched with the goal of ensuring that every medical oncology/hematology patient will have a personalized care plan developed through Roswell Park’s Clinical Pathways. ■
