This premier distinction is only given to hospitals that rank in the top 5% in the nation for overall clinical excellence.

It is envisioned that MSKCC will assist JHMC in building its own oncology program and related staffing through strategic recruitment and leveraging JMHC’s many strengths, so it can address most of the oncologic care across the multidisciplinary cancer care continuum for the community it serves, while providing patients access to specialty care, services, and clinical trials not available at JHMC our affiliation with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
