What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hematologist and Genitourinary Medical Oncologist – Bay Shore, New York position at Northern Westchester Hospital?
The Northwell Health Cancer Institute seeks a full-time, board-certified hematologist & medical oncologist with an interest in genitourinary medical oncology to join the team at Imbert Cancer Center based in Bay Shore, Long Island. Imbert Cancer Center, designed to meet the needs of patients and their families, is located in the heart of Long Island's South Shore. Our team includes surgical oncology, hematology/medical oncology, radiation oncology, interventional radiology, and diagnostic radiology. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that we provide the best care and outcome possible while meeting all your physical and emotional needs. Our units are staffed by specially trained oncology nurses. The distinguished faculty have trained and worked at some of the most prestigious academic institutions in their fields and have achieved regional, national, and international recognition for their work in clinical care, research, and education.
The cancer program at Imbert Cancer Center is part of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute, which treats more than 16,000 patients with cancer, giving patients access to the services of more than 200 Cancer Institute physicians in more than 25 sub-specialties. The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is home to Northwell Health's research and is an epicenter for scientific discovery and innovation, including basic science and clinical research in molecular medicine, genetics, oncology, brain research, mental health, autoimmunity, and bioelectronic medicine. In 2015, Northwell Health and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory began a strategic affiliation to accelerate cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment. This collaboration offers the ability to deliver cancer therapeutics to patients throughout the region, while also meeting the comprehensive medical and surgical needs of those with cancer and at risk of the disease.
We care for more New Yorkers with cancer than any other health system. With Northwell's acquisition of Nuvance Health, we've increased that capacity even more, extending our reach into Connecticut and the Hudson Valley. Meanwhile, we continue to add services at existing locations, and to recruit top specialists. Our goal is to provide the majority of our services in or near the communities where our patients live, work and raise families. Co-locating surgery, medical oncology and radiation oncology in one physical location, wherever possible, makes a big difference to patients who are dealing with the disruption of cancer, and shouldn't have to add traveling long distances to their list of concerns. We're also focused on offering standardized care, so that all our patients can be assured that no matter where they live, they'll receive the highest standard of care. To simplify the journey, dedicated nurse navigators connect patients to the services they need, when and where they need them. Breaking through boundaries, both geographic ones and those that have kept people from receiving the care they deserve, is what we do at the Northwell Cancer Institute.
Northwell Health is New York State's largest health care provider and private employer, with 28 hospitals and 1,050 outpatient facilities. Nuvance Health, which provides exceptional care for the Hudson Valley and western Connecticut communities, has proudly joined Northwell. This means expanded access to renowned care, resources and expertise has come to 12 counties.
