Phase I is scheduled to begin this month , with medical oncology services — including on - site physician office hours , oncology infusions and surgical oncology — offered at the Cherry Hill hospital . Medical oncologists Dr . Ana María López , Dr . Eduardo Fernandez , Dr . Michael Rotkowitz and Dr . Anthony Scarpaci will see patients in Cherry Hill while also maintaining their practice at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Washington Township . Last month , the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center’s Washington Township location received a $ 25,000 donation from First Harvest Credit Union . The monetary gift will be used to offset cancer patients ’ medical transporta - tion expenses . Two programs at the Rutgers School of Nursing ? Camden are attempting to alleviate a critical shortage of nurses . The Wound , Ostomy and Continence Nursing Education Program ( WOCNEP ) and the Doctor of Nursing Practice ( DNP ) aim to prepare the next genera - tion of crucial frontline medical workers for areas of high - demand like primary care , geriatric care and chronic - disease management . As the only graduate - level tri - specialty program in the nation , WOCNEP prepares nurses to provide acute and rehabilitative care in settings like in - patient , outpatient , long - term care , home health care and more . The DNP program prepares nurses to become leaders in health care , serve vulnerable populations and advocate for reforms in health policy . Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills — working with partner HMR , Browns Woods Apartments — provided holiday cheer for 40 local families . Each department at Deborah “ adopts ” a family by providing them with gifts and holiday meals , and volunteers from both organizations pitch in for their distribution . “ It warms our heart to be able to sponsor this event every year , ” says Deborah Heart and Lung Center President and CEO Joseph Chirichella . “ We could not do this without the tremendous support of our staff , who each year rise to the challenge and help make the holidays brighter for a family in need . ” Additionally , Deborah Heart and Lung Center is among New Jersey’s medical centers that The Leapfrog Group has recognized as one of the top teaching hospitals in the country . w 20 | SOUTH JERSEY BIZ | VOLUME 12 ISSUE 1 | SouthJerseyBiz.net
