The following announcement is from Mount Kisco Medical Group:

The Mount Kisco Medical Group (MKMG), a multispecialty practice serving Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties in New York, today announced a new partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center to provide supporting clinical services at MSK’s new outpatient cancer treatment facility in West Harrison, NY.

As part of this innovative partnership to provide integrated care, MKMG physicians with appointments to the MSK medical staff will be based on-site at MSK’s West Harrison facility to provide non cancer treatment services – including cardiology, gastroenterology, gynecology, infectious disease and internal medicine to MSK’s patients.

“We could not be more pleased to partner with Memorial Sloan Kettering to provide them with supporting clinical services in their brand new, state of the art facility,” said Scott D. Hayworth, MD, President and CEO of MKMG. “This relationship is perfectly in line with our efforts to partner with world class organizations, as we continue our mission to offer the highest quality, most cost-effective care for all patients.”

The physicians and leadership from both MKMG and MSK will work together to offer coordinated care, and enhance the patient experience for people in the Hudson Valley and Southwest Connecticut communities.

“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with one of the foremost medical groups in the country, and provide our patients with access to the excellent physicians of the Mount Kisco Medical Group, all under one roof,” said José Baselga, MD, PHD, MSK’s Physician-in-Chief.

MSK’s newest and largest state-of-the-art facility will be on Westchester Avenue and opens its doors to patients on October 6, 2014. Built to meet the unique needs of cancer patients, the 114,000 square foot outpatient cancer facility includes the most comprehensive set of services and amenities all under one roof. The staff of approximately 140, many of whom reside in the Hudson Valley region and are active in their local communities, includes world-class surgeons, cancer specialists, and nurses who have decades of experience treating patients with cancer.

“As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, MKMG plans to build upon strategic relationships with world class institutions in an effort to provide integrated and coordinated care for patients. Mount Kisco Medical Group is confident that this newly formed partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering will be a long and successful one for our most important mission – the patients we serve,” concluded Hayworth.
