Bringing World Class Cancer Care to our Community

The University of Pennsylvania Cancer Network is a select group of community hospitals throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey collaborating with Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center to ensure excellence in cancer care throughout the region.

The Penn Cancer Network offers an integrated system of care between community hospitals and Penn. This means patients receiving care at Shore Memorial have access to the latest information, techniques and treatment protocols, including Penn's extensive clinical trials program.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania is the cornerstone of the Cancer Network, offering subspecialty care not usually available at most community hospitals, as well as the vast research and technological resources of one of the nation's foremost cancer centers.

When treatment requires a trip to Philadelphia, Penn’s specialists remain in close contact with the patient's local physicians. This close relationship between Shore Memorial physicians and Penn ensures access to the most advanced care and the best odds for success.

The Shore Memorial Cancer Center was chosen by the Penn Cancer Network for its commitment to excellence in patient care and dedication to improve the health of the communities we serve.

The Penn affiliation allows Shore Memorial's physicians, nurses and support staff access to continuing education programs from the University of Pennsylvania system -- one of the most respected medical universities and teaching hospitals in the world.
