The Cancer Program at Chester County Hospital is one of the premier community-based cancer programs in the Philadelphia region. We are fortunate to have physicians who trained at the top medical schools in the country and exceptional nurses, navigators, social workers and entire teams all focused on caring for our patients. The success of this program is inextricably linked to the success of the organization and, with our Penn Medicine colleagues, we will continue to build the capabilities in this program.
To lead this effort, Dennis Berman, M.D. has been appointed Director of the Cancer Program at Chester County Hospital. While Dr. Berman has always been a leader in our Cancer Center, this new position establishes him as the Physician-Executive leading the development of our program into a regional referral center that is supported by and complementary to the strategic initiatives of Penn Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center.
Dr. Berman will have significant strategic and operational oversight responsibilities for medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology and related ancillary support services. To support him in this regard, the hospital has formed a new Cancer Executive Committee that Dr. Berman chairs and that includes physician representation from each of these clinical areas. In addition, Dr. Berman will continue to lead his practice - Chester County Hematology Oncology, Chair the hospital's Cancer Committee and serve as the Cancer Program's Medical Liaison to Penn Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center.
Dr. Berman has invested his entire career in the Cancer Program and Chester County Hospital, and we congratulate him on this important appointment.
