Greetings! On behalf of the physicians and other WellSpan Health leaders who generously shared their insights for this magazine, welcome to the fall 2017 issue of MD News South Central Pennsylvania. WellSpan Health provides high-level oncology services throughout the region, while engaging in research that promises to enhance care further. Those facets of WellSpan's comprehensive approach are on display in our cover feature. It examines WellSpan's collaboration with the renowned Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Patients at WellSpan's cancer centers gain greater access to clinical trials through this partnership, and WellSpan cancer physicians can leverage second opinions from Johns Hopkins specialists, who often treat extremely complex cases. Another feature spotlights the wide geographic distribution of WellSpan's network of community-based cancer centers. This enables patients to receive evidence-based care close to where they live and work. Other topics we cover in this issue include: + The availability of the latest chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic agents, provided by an interdisciplin- ary team at WellSpan Cancer Centers + The advanced capabilities that WellSpan specialists employ to perform complex surgical oncology procedures + The personalized diagnostic, treatment and follow-up care compassionately provided by WellSpan Health breast cancer specialists + A screening that can detect lung cancer early, as well as the lifesaving treatments WellSpan Health marshals to address this condition + Partnerships with other respected organizations that allow highly trained cancer specialists at WellSpan to bring to local patients the benefits of cutting-edge research + The robust radiation therapy services available through WellSpan Health's integrated network of cancer centers + WellSpan York Hospital's earning the highest stroke certification from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association We also provide a range of statistics related to oncology and a review of some up-and-coming medical devices.
