Gov. Opens Cancer Center in South Jersey

Continuing his personal commitment to make New Jersey a national leader in cancer care and research, Governor James E. McGreevey formally opened the state’s first and only multidisciplinary cancer center in southern New Jersey recently.

Created through a partnership between Cooper University Hospital and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, “CINJ at Cooper” will be part of the elite group of institutions designated as Comprehensive Cancer Centers by The National Cancer Institute (NCI). It will bring state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer treatment to the southern New Jersey region.

The Governor was joined by officials from Cooper and CINJ, as well as state and local dignitaries, including Assemblyman Louis Greenwald, Commissioner Clifton R. Lacy, M.D., of the Department of Health and Senior Services and Commissioner Susan Bass Levin of the Department of Community Affairs.#
