Hartford HealthCare is Connecticut's most comprehensive healthcare network. Our fully integrated health system includes a tertiary-care teaching hospital, an acute-care community teaching hospital, an acute-care hospital and trauma center, two community hospitals. The Cancer Institute, headed by a visionary leadership team, offers the same high-quality care you'd get at an academic health system but delivered in convenient community settings. Advanced treatments and services are available in offices and centers across our system all offered by fellowship-trained experts in various types of cancer. These community efforts are enhanced by our membership in the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Alliance. This connection offers invaluable access to current research trials that can connect you with the latest medications and treatments for your cancer. Often, you can join research trials from the convenience of your local Cancer Institute site. This distinctive cancer care and clinical research partnership means the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute brings the most innovative, evidence-based cancer care from MSK directly into community settings across our state. Previously, patients had to travel to New York to get this level of care.Partnering with MSK has helped Hartford HealthCare expand its research portfolio to include more cancer types than ever before, and to add a Cancer Care Innovation Unit at Hartford Hospital. The unit enables Hartford HealthCare to provide Phase I clinical trials to patients, meaning they have access to the most promising drugs in the development pipeline.We've also drafted standards that guarantee you will receive the same high level of care no matter which location you visit or provider you see. Our community approach to cancer treatment has been recognized nationally. In 2017, the Cancer Institute became one of only a few U.S. systems to earn the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer accreditation. Historically, such approval was only given to individual locations. The Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute encompasses comprehensive cancer centers at seven hospitals across Connecticut Hartford Hospital, The Hospital of Central Connecticut, Backus Hospital, Midstate Medical Center, Windham Hospital, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and St Vincent's Medical Center. Collectively, the cancer programs within the Cancer Institute treat about 6,000 new cancer patients per year while caring for tens of thousands of existing patients, offering a full range of innovative, evidence-based and personalized treatments designed to meet the needs of each individual patient. Our innovative Institute approach is unlike any other in the state and is among the most highly regarded in the nation. Through our Institute, which is organized around a specific disease and not necessarily location, we can apply best practices throughout our system so that patients receive the same high standards of care no matter where they live or which Hartford HealthCare cancer center they choose. For all of our patients, a dedicated team of oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, nurses, clinical researchers, technicians and others collaborate to provide the exact course of care they need. The Institute's multidisciplinary disease management teams meet and collaborate regularly to lend expertise and insight on numerous cancer types, translating into exceptional coordinated care. The Institute's accomplished, fellowship-trained physicians are nationally recognized for their level of sophisticated care in areas such as radiation oncology, medical oncology and surgical oncology. Patients are also cared for in an environment that emphasizes compassion and personal connections, with a team of trained nurse navigators who provide guidance and support to patients and families, from diagnosis to recovery. The Institute also boasts a thriving survivorship program. In 2017, the Institute was accredited as a network by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, one of a select few institutes nationwide to be recognized as a system, rather than individual cancer centers. For patients coming through our doors with a cancer diagnosis, that means three things: standardized care, more options and more hope.More than four years after the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute became the charter member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Alliance, cancer patients now have unprecedented access to the world's most advanced clinical trials. And more than ever before, physicians, nurses, pharmacists and researchers are working collaboratively to implement cancer treatment standards and protocols developed at MSK, the premier cancer treatment center in the country.
