A Better Kind of Cancer Care
"What's important is to have a group of specialists
that are expert in their respective ‡elds and
dedicated to a common problem. Physicians,
nurses and other providers who work well together
in an institution that encourages teamwork. Here
at Winthrop we have six to eight physicians from
di‹erent specialties all focused on each individual
cancer patient. That is uncommon across the
country and unique on Long Island.
"I really believe that at Winthrop-University Hospital,
we're delivering a better kind of cancer care."
