In April, 2010, Northside Hospital was among the 14 new sites chosen by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, to join a national network of community cancer centers offering expanded research opportunities and state-of-the-art cancer care. Northside was the only new hospital added in the Southeastern United States.
Northside’s Cancer Care Program is the largest Community Cancer Program in Georgia, with a strong track record in community outreach and regional leadership in women’s oncology, Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) and prostate cancer. It has the only comprehensive, community BMT Program in Georgia, ranked in the top 15% in the U.S. Physicians at Northside diagnose and/or treat more cases of breast cancer than any other hospital in the southeast. The hospital’s clinical research program includes collaborative relationships with Johns Hopkin and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
