From diagnosis to recovery
At UHS, we understand that a cancer diagnosis represents one of life’s most profound challenges. As your trusted healthcare partner, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing exceptional oncology care that addresses not only the medical complexities of cancer treatment, but the human experience at its center.
This issue of Stay Healthy magazine showcases the comprehensive scope of our UHS oncology services and the remarkable people who make our mission possible. You’ll be inspired by the story of Laura Cleary, a testament to resilience and the power of expert care. When Ms. Cleary received her cancer diagnosis while pursuing her nursing degree, our team provided specialized treatment and support that enabled her to not only overcome her illness, but to join our own UHS Emergency Department Nurse Residency program. Her journey from patient to caregiver exemplifies healing that extends far beyond treatment.
Within these pages, you’ll discover the advanced capabilities that set our oncology program apart. Our state-of-the-art laboratory services ensure precise diagnostics and personalized treatment planning, while our UHS Specialty Pharmacy team works tirelessly to coordinate complex medication regimens and remove barriers to essential therapies.
We’re particularly excited to share news of our expanded partnership with Broome Oncology, which will further enhance the specialized care available through UHS Medical Oncology. This collaboration represents our ongoing commitment to bringing the most innovative treatments closer to home for our patients and families.
The stories and insights you’ll find in this issue reflect our unwavering dedication to clinical excellence, compassionate care, and the belief that every patient deserves hope, dignity and the very best that UHS has to offer.

PRESIDENT AND CEO OF UHS
