Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Founded in 1884 as New York Cancer Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering ranks as one of the top two hospitals providing cancer care in the United States, treating both children and adults. The center's work is marked by a close relationship between practicing physicians, scientists, and students. This dynamic personalized care has enabled Memorial Sloan Kettering, with its state-of-the-art facilities, to lead the world in cancer prevention and control, as well as in the continuous race for a cure. Located in Manhattan, Memorial Sloan Kettering also provides community outreach programs that strive to increase accessibility to information about cancer prevention, care, and treatment, especially among traditionally underserved populations.
