We recognize that a cancer diagnosis can affect every aspect of life for you and your loved ones; our dedicated physicians and support staff are committed to providing care for every area. In addition to extensive clinical services, the Smilow Cancer Hospital Care Center in Waterford offers complementary support services for patients, their family members, and caregivers. Our Care Center was built with our patients’ comfort in mind. As the building was designed, suggestions from cancer survivors, physicians, nurses, and other care experts were implemented, such as the onsite lab and pharmacy, which provide convenience and improve ease of treatment. By design, the spacious interiors are filled with light, soothing colors, and views of the woodland setting and healing garden to provide a tranquil atmosphere to support healing.
