Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center

Since its opening in 1973, the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University has led the world in deciphering the mechanisms of cancer and new ways to treat it. The strength of the center’s research and treatment programs was recognized early by NCI, who designated it as one of the first comprehensive cancer centers and recognizes it as a Center of Excellence.

The center partnered with Allegheny Health Network in 2014. This collaboration fosters clinical accomplishments, medical education, and a broad range of cancer research initiatives.

The Kimmel Cancer Center’s goals are to:

decrease cancer incidence and deaths and improve the quality of life for those who have cancer,
excel in cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical research and in the application of fundamental knowledge to prevent and cure cancer and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer,
safely and compassionately provide the full range of evidence-based, preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, supportive, and patient-focused services to cancer patients and their families, and
lead cancer education of health professionals, scientists, patients and their families, and the community at large.
