New partnership adds to cancer center's growing network.
People who live in the Central New York area now have a more convenient way to access comprehensive cancer care, advanced therapies and personalized treatment plans from Roswell Park — through St. Joseph’s Health in Syracuse, NY.
Launched in December, St. Joseph’s Health Cancer Care offers medical oncology services in collaboration with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center in upstate New York. As the newest addition to the Roswell Park Care Network, St. Joseph's Health can now provide the latest treatment options, integrated care plans, access to clinical trials and telemedicine consultations with experts at Roswell Park.
On-site in Syracuse, experienced oncologist Haider Ali Khadim, MD, brings expertise and a commitment to delivering high-quality, individualized cancer care to the region. Dr. Khadim holds his MBBS from King Edward Medical University in Pakistan and completed his residency and fellowship at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
“We remain steadfast in our dedication to bring the expertise of our nationally designated cancer center to more patients, no matter where they live,” says Candace S. Johnson, PhD, President, CEO and M&T Bank Presidential Chair in Leadership at Roswell Park. “Patients of this affiliation will not only benefit from the care of an excellent oncologist in Dr. Khadim, but also the consult of a whole team of multidisciplinary cancer experts back in Buffalo to help ensure all options are considered and the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual.”
St. Joseph’s Health Cancer Care treats various cancer types, such as breast, colorectal, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers, as well as blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. St. Joseph’s Health Cancer Care is now accepting patients. More information can be found here. Roswell Park has partners across New York State in addition to multiple locations in Western New York.
