Our Programs

"We have organized most of our cancer care into 12 cancer programs. These programs are all based on a multidisciplinary team approach.

Key characteristics of our programs are:

Patient-centered care
Rapid access to appointments and relevant tests
Personalized care led by a physician in collaboration with a team of specialists
Personal communication and assistance from a patient coordinator
Compassion and support for the psychological aspects of cancer
Rapid communication with and involvement of outside primary care and referring physicians

I came here specifically because of Yale’s West Campus and Smilow Cancer Hospital. Smilow will be an absolutely fabulous facility. I’m a big believer in cutting-edge research and in quality, safety and outcomes measurement – but the pursuit of clinical excellence is the most important component of any cancer center."
