A Message from the Chief Medical Officer
of Oncology
Several components contribute to the healing environment at The
Cancer Centers:
-
Our Psychosocial Support and Education
Programs are among the most extensive in the state. Both
individual and group counseling, in person and by phone,
is available for patients and their advocates. We also
provide stimulating and relevant lecture programs for our
patients and members of the community on an ongoing basis.
-
Our board-certified oncologists and subspecialists have extensive
training and credentials from prestigious facilities across
the country, bringing to Saint Barnabas the best our country
has to offer for the clinical research, diagnosis and treatment
of cancer. (See Meet Our Medical Oncologists.)
-
Results of surveys on both inpatient and outpatient oncology
services attest to a consistently high
level of patient satisfaction.
-
Quality nursing care is an integral part of the recovery and
healing process. To maximize each patient’s care during
hospitalization, dedicated patient floors have been assigned
to medical oncology, urology, orthopedics, pediatrics, surgery
and women’s surgical diseases. Saint Barnabas is
also one of the few institutions in New Jersey to have a dedicated
neurosurgical intensive care unit.
-
Individuals seeking care at Saint Barnabas can be assured
of finding a full range of cancer and
ancillary services. Our
centers of excellence include our Gynecologic
Cancer and Pelvic Surgery Center, Valerie
Fund Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders,
and Breast
Center for outpatient services related to breast health,
such as mammograms, breast education, and some outpatient surgical
procedures. Other highly specialized services include Radiation
Oncology, Cancer Genetics Counseling
Service, and Integrative Medicine
(Alternative and Complementary Medicine) services.
-
Saint Barnabas is committed to oncology
clinical research. For

Medical Center, please visit Research/Clinical
