With our personalized approach to medicine, our oncologists design a treatment program specifically for each patient. Through Abington’s integration with the renowned NCI-designated Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Jefferson Health (one of only 71 NCI-designated cancer centers in the country), specialists – such as head and neck cancer surgeons – travel from Center City to meet with patients and families close to home and with conveniences like free parking. To date, 15 of the 55 specialty physicians who will be seeing patients at the Pavilion are from the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center in Center City.
