Earlier this year, the MediSys Health Network announced a partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to provide comprehensive cancer care to the Queens community.
Since the collaboration was announced, hundreds of patients have received high-quality services on the network’s Jamaica Hospital campus every month. Recently, WCBS reporter Jennifer Bisram visited the hospital to learn more about the impact the cancer care team is making in the community, including the announcement of a new dedicated cancer care center, scheduled to open shortly.
During her report, Jennifer interviewed Dr. Rosa Nouvini who discussed the importance of offering cancer care to a community that faces many healthcare barriers. Administrator Eugene Clark provided insight into the valuable services our patient navigator program provides our patients throughout their entire treatment.
The most powerful portion of the news segment however was an interview with cancer survivor, Ms. Leticia Aguilar, who gave a first-hand testimony of her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from breast cancer. Ms. Aguilar shared details of the amazing care she received from the MediSys Health Network’s doctors, nurses, and patient navigation team.
