Every year, leaders from the UPMC CancerCenter recognize the physicians, nurses and staff who go the extra mile to provide the highest quality care to patients. This year’s Oncology Awards were held July 8.

“We’re so  proud of our clinicians and staff for how hard they work every day to ensure patients and their families are getting the best care possible. Cancer challenges our patients in so many ways and we think it’s important that we recognize those in the UPMC CancerCenter network that go above and beyond to address those challenges,” said Stanley Marks, M.D., chairman of the UPMC CancerCenter.
