Hartford HealthCare and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Hartford HealthCare and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) announced they are working toward a greatly expanded relationship to elevate and transform cancer care and research throughout Connecticut, with a new Hartford HealthCare Cancer Center under construction in Fairfield.

Building off their groundbreaking 10-year collaboration in which the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute became the first member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Alliance, Hartford HealthCare will now work with MSK to become the first Care Partner of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK Care Partners).

MSK announced the new MSK Care Partners program at Hartford HealthCare’s state-of- the-art 25,000-square-foot facility now under construction at 4185 Black Rock Turnpike near the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield. Upon completion of a successful intensive review of its oncology program’s processes and outcomes, the new Fairfield Cancer Center, St. Vincent’s Medical Center, and Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute locations would become MSK Care Partners.

Hartford HealthCare also plans to create a new dedicated cancer unit at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, providing comprehensive inpatient oncology care in a space designed for optimal care and patient experience.
