Emory University Hospital Midtown is launching a new comprehensive cancer center. The Peachtree St. facility is designed to improve cancer care and provide new opportunities for cancer research.

The new Winship Cancer Institute includes inpatient and outpatient coordinated care all in one place, which is not typical for most cancer care centers.

It also streamlines the care process by allowing patients to check in just once for multiple appointments, be assigned to one dedicated room, and have most of their doctors, lab technicians, surgeons and other providers come to them instead of patients making multiple trips for care.
