Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Opens New Care Facility at Sturdy Health
New England Council member Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Sturdy Health recently opened a new cancer care clinic in Attleboro, expanding access to outpatient oncology and hematology services for patients in Southern Massachusetts. Dana-Farber will operate the clinic within the newly constructed Sturdy Health Specialty Care Building on the Sturdy Health campus.
The new facility includes ten exam rooms and seventeen infusion beds, and will provide infusion services, genetic counseling, clinical trials, nutrition guidance, social work support, and more. By bringing these services to Attleboro, the partnership increases access to critical treatment while easing some of the travel demands faced by patients and the family members and caregivers who help them get to and from treatment.
“Dana-Farber is proud to partner with Sturdy Health to expand access to high-quality oncology care for patients in the Attleboro area,” said Benjamin L. Ebert, MD, PhD, president and CEO of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to bringing exceptional cancer care closer to where patients live. As cancer rates continue to rise, partnerships like this help ensure that more patients and families can get the expert, compassionate, and personalized care they need at every step of their cancer journey.”
The New England Council commends Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for expanding access to cancer care in Southern Massachusetts and partnering with Sturdy Health to bring these services closer to patients and families.
