“The standard of care we hold ourselves to here is higher than a lot of other places. We just truly go out of our way for the patient to make sure they have the best possible outcomes and experience.”

A center for nursing excellence
Opened in January 2023, the Marie E. Bogner Center for Nursing Excellence is a 5,126 square foot space that houses smart classrooms, flexible skills learning areas and a lactation room. It also features a calm and inviting lounge and breakroom allowing staff a moment to relax or work on projects. The new center complements an existing focus on nursing education which includes internships, research opportunities and the Roswell Park Nurse Residency Program for new graduate oncology nurses, the only accredited program of its kind in Western New York.
