Your Health Care Team at the Regional Cancer Center

 New Milford Hospital has assembled a comprehensive team of experts to assist you over the entire course of your diagnosis, treatment and supportive care for cancer.  Our core belief is that patients should be real partners in their care.  The more knowledgeable and informed our patients can become, the better prepared they are to function effectively as such a partner.  As a community hospital and Planetree affiliate dedicated to clinical excellence and patient-centered care that nurtures every patient's mind, body and spirit, we will work to personalize and demystify aspects of your care, supporting you and your family with extensive technology, programs and clinical trials to help you make decisions and get the support you need.  We participate in extensive quality improvement efforts to ensure we maintain the highest standard of care for our patients, and offer special programs designed to help cancer survivors address their long-term health and well-being.
