"The mission of the COE is to assure that all cancer patients and communities in Western New York can benefit from, and have access to, all the clinical and scientific advances accomplished at Roswell Park.” 

"Feeling like I was sought after made me feel like I wanted to work here; even as a student, my work was valued,” she says.

There are still a handful of people at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center who were here when a duck pond welcomed patients near the main entrance. Kelley Watson, BSN, RN, is one of them.

"Being a researcher to me means I am always asking questions and looking for answers, which means I am constantly learning."

“Our main focus is to evaluate patients who may have inherited forms of cancer, where it would make a difference in the management of their disease or the management of their family’s risk,” says Joseph F. Maher, MD.

“Once I spent time here, during my clinical experience, I realized it’s not what you think, not at all. The fulfillment that I’ve found here is much more than I could have ever imagined.”
