Expansion News:
Accelerating Our Mission

Welcome

Welcome to Fox Chase Cancer Center's Expansion page, a corner of our Web site devoted to the latest news and happenings about our developing plans for expansion — here at our Northeast Philadelphia home, and beyond.

Expansion means more capacity, not only to treat our rapidly expanding patient base, but also to conduct more of the pioneering scientific research we do that advances cancer treatment and care worldwide.  It means working with the latest technology in the most advanced settings, uncovering new opportunities for fulfilling our research mission, recruiting the most talented scientists, physicians and staff, and, perhaps most importantly, preserving the independent spirit that has made Fox Chase who we are today.

These opportunities, coupled with the 19 expansion projects underway and in the works at our current location — including Fox Chase Cancer Center at Buckingham and the new 125,000-square-foot Cancer Research Pavilion, home to the region’s first Center for Women’s Cancers — give everyone in the Fox Chase family a lot to be excited about.

We still have a significant amount of studying and planning ahead of us, and we’ll do our best to keep everyone as fully informed as possible while the process proceeds.  I encourage you to join our mailing list to receive updates about our latest developments.  In the mean time, if you have any questions about our plans and our progress, write to us at expansion@fccc.edu. 

Towards the future!
