Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Along with state-of-the-art facilities for diagnosis, inpatient, and ambulatory care in Manhattan, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has outpatient facilities located throughout the tri-state area.
 Memorial Hospital, with 437 beds, is located at 1275 York Avenue, between 67th and 68th Streets on the Upper East Side of Manhattan,. The majority of the Center's outpatients are seen at our Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion on 53rd Street at Third Avenue in midtown Manhattan. This facility offers medical consultation, diagnostic imaging, chemotherapy, pharmacy services, cancer screening, and integrative medicine services. Outpatient breast cancer services in Manhattan are provided at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center on 64th Street near Second Avenue. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are offered on an outpatient basis at community-based cancer treatment centers in New Jersey, Long Island, and Westchester County. These regional programs are staffed by Memorial Sloan-Kettering physicians and other Center healthcare professionals.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering is constantly renovating and expanding to meet the growing needs of our patients, physicians, and scientists. A new 23-story research building is nearing completion across the street from Memorial Hospital. The new building, with more than 300,000 square feet of laboratory space, will house many of our cancer research programs. The Center recently opened The Claire Tow Pediatric Pavilion, with new inpatient and outpatient pediatric facilities now on one contiguous floor. Extensive renovations to Memorial Hospital include the construction of 21 new surgical suites designed to accommodate the latest technologies. The Sidney Kimmel Center for Prostate and Urologic Cancers, which opened in 2002, offers comprehensive care for genitourinary cancers.
As the world's oldest and largest cancer center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has devoted more than a century to patient care as well as to innovative research, making significant contributions to new and better therapies for the treatment of cancer. We are proud of the progress we have made in the fight against cancer, as well of our extraordinary institution and our staff of more than 9,000 employees. Their dedication, teamwork, and talent make a difference in the lives of our patients today and those we will see in the future.
