President’s Message

John M. Fraser
President and CEO
Methodist Hospital

Methodist Hospital is proud to be at the forefront of the battle against cancer, providing cutting-edge, intensely caring cancer services on one convenient campus.
We offer exceptional, comprehensive inpatient cancer care at Methodist Hospital in combination with exceptional, comprehensive outpatient cancer care at Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center.

The expansion of our cancer programs, technologies and facilities continues, thanks in large measure to the tireless work of the Methodist Hospital Foundation and the generous support of many contributors. This fall, we put the finishing touches on a $7 million expansion of the Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center, complete with the latest diagnostic and treatment tools to deliver tissue-sparing, lifesaving cancer care.

Methodist is more than an established leader in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. We are also a thriving center of research, providing access to approximately 100 National Cancer Institute-approved clinical trials, with a level of patient participation triple the national average.

This issue highlights our cancer services, and I invite you to look beyond our bricks and mortar, medical technology and ongoing research. I want you to meet the exceptionally talented and caring people who truly make Methodist the meaning of care. From greeters Joyce and Ethel, to our other staff, physicians and volunteers, our team is here for you, ready to help and heal.

Sincerely,
