Northern Light Mercy Hospital became a member of the Dana-Farber Cancer Care Collaborative by demonstrating a commitment to excellence in cancer care, and by meeting a wide variety of standards and best practices. The collaborative brings the renowned expertise of one of the world’s leading cancer centers closer to home for Mercy’s patients.
Benefits of the Dana-Farber Cancer Care Collaborative
As a Dana-Farber Cancer Care Collaborative member, Mercy Hospital has access to virtual consults and second opinions, support and education for physicians and nurses, and streamlined access to Dana-Farber specialists in Boston for patients with complex cancers.
Our physicians, nurses, and support staff stay up-to-date with the latest advances in cancer research and treatment with personalized education from Dana-Farber experts. Patients who could benefit from a second opinion or further treatment at Dana-Farber may be eligible for virtual consultations with a Dana-Farber sub-specialty oncologist. For patients who prefer or are recommended an in-person consultation, our collaboration allows us to facilitate timely access to appointments in Boston at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
