Moffitt Cancer Center and Memorial Healthcare System Partnership

The Moffitt Malignant Hematology & Cellular Therapy at Memorial Healthcare System enhances the care of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and establishes a comprehensive Blood and Marrow Transplant Cellular Therapy Program for South Florida residents. With both institutions recognized nationally and internationally as leaders in cancer care, this collaboration provides major benefits to patients seeking highly specialized cancer care close to home.

Our multispecialty team has extensive experience working with patients who have been diagnosed with a blood disease. After using state-of-the-art diagnostics testing, our cancer experts can then determine the best course of action depending on the type and stage of the cancer.

More About The Moffitt Cancer Center & Memorial Healthcare System Partnership

Moffitt has a lasting commitment to the prevention and cure of cancer, through patient care, scientific discovery and education. That includes bringing these components to areas outside the Tampa region.
