Patients turn to Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University (Winship) for comprehensive cancer care. Soon they’ll be able to rely on it for oncology-related urgent care as well.
Funded by a multi-million dollar gift from The Ma-Ran Foundation, Winship will establish an immediate care facility to bridge the gap between cancer centers and emergency rooms. The Rollins Immediate Care Center of Winship at Emory University Hospital is expected to open in spring 2022.
“Cancer patients need to know that when they are at their most vulnerable, there is a place where oncology-trained experts can provide urgent and immediate care,” says Sagar Lonial, MD, chief medical officer of Winship. “Knowing that Winship is there when they most need care is an enormous comfort for patients.”
