Virtua

"When Dr. Paul Engstrom spoke to Dr. David Flinker and me in 1985 about increasing Memorial Hospital's relationship with Fox Chase, none of us dreamed that our past association would develop into the Partners relationship between Virtua Health and Fox Chase Cancer Center of today. The success of the Virtua Fox Chase Cancer Program and the overall FCCC Partners Program is based on the visions of Dr. Engstrom, Dr. Robert Young, and others at Fox Chase, and the collaboration of a host of visionary community oncologists in our region. Congratulations to us all."
