Our Purpose & Mission
Expert, Compassionate Cancer Care Close to Home
Ask a cancer survivor, and they’ll tell you: having advanced care close to home makes all the difference. It means more support, easier access to treatment options and a better quality of life during one of life’s toughest battles. At Stony Brook Cancer Center, we bring world-class expertise to your own backyard, so you don’t have to choose between exceptional care and staying near the people and places you love.
As Suffolk County’s only academic medical institution, our mission is rooted in three pillars that drive everything we do: providing outstanding clinical care, advancing groundbreaking research and shaping the future of medicine through education. Together, these pillars enable us to deliver better outcomes for our patients and community.
