Brown University Health, joined by the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce and the Neponset River Regional Chamber, celebrated the opening of its new Cancer Institute at 70 Walnut Street in Foxborough with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The event was attended by State Senator Paul Feeney, Representative Michael Chaisson, Brown University Health leadership, clinicians, staff and community partners.
Certified as a Quality Oncology Practice by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the new Cancer Institute expands access to advanced, coordinated cancer care for patients across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Conveniently located just off Route 140 near the I-95 interchange, the Foxborough site brings comprehensive medical and radiation oncology services together.
“This new location represents a meaningful step forward in how we deliver cancer care, bringing expert, highly coordinated services into the communities where our patients live,” said Cynthia Peterson, executive vice president, Ambulatory and Clinical Services, Brown University Health. “By co-locating medical and radiation oncology in a single, modern setting, we’re improving access, strengthening collaboration, and enhancing the overall patient experience. We are truly grateful for the wonderful community partners in Foxborough and the strong collaboration between Brown University Health and the Tri-Town and Neponset River Chambers.”
Medical Oncology, led by Jonathan B. Croopnick, MD, specializes in benign and malignant hematology and the treatment of most solid tumors. The onsite infusion center provides advanced chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies guided by tumor sequencing and patient genetics.
Radiation Oncology, led by Jonathan M. Glanzman, MD, offers customized radiation therapy plans as part of a multidisciplinary cancer team. The Radiation Therapy Center features a brand new state-of-the-art Linear Accelerator (LINAC) that delivers precise radiation while sparing healthy tissue.
Additional services at the Foxborough location include advanced imaging, CT scanning, ultrasound, bone density testing, and new diagnostic 3D mammography, along with walk-in lab services, therapeutic phlebotomy, and non-cancer-related infusions and injections.
During the ceremony, State Senator Paul Feeney and Representative Michael Chaisson presented official citations recognizing the opening of the Foxborough Cancer Institute and commending Brown University Health for its continued commitment to expanding access to high-quality, patient-centered cancer care in the region.
