The First Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Care Partner
More than a decade ago, Hartford HealthCare became the charter member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK)’s Cancer Alliance, providing patients unprecedented access to the world’s most advanced care, including clinical trials, evidenced-based treatments and some of the best minds in the field. Over time, technology, treatments and research has advanced and so has HHC’s relationship with MSK. In 2025, Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute became a Care Partner of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK Care Partner).
Healthcare organizations become an MSK Care Partner based on MSK's review and adoption of MSK's Standards of Care. Being an MSK Care Partner brings more tailored knowledge-sharing to partner healthcare organizations, including focused education and training and opportunities for collaboration, helping to expand integrated, subspecialized, high-quality cancer care to more patients.
Through knowledge-sharing, access to clinical trials, educational opportunities and collaboration with the world’s preeminent cancer specialists, Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute will be adopting the MSK Standards of Care™ in its oncology practice. Hartford HealthCare physicians will have opportunities to consult with MSK’s highly specialized experts on optimal treatment plans in certain cases. They also will observe MSK physicians performing new techniques, better equipping them to provide the highest standard of care in their own practices. Some Hartford Healthcare physicians will be able to participate in MSK continuing education programs, grand rounds, tumor boards, symposia, and observership opportunities.
As part of this evolving partnership, we’re bringing even more specialized knowledge, innovation, and expertise into the communities we serve — so patients can stay close to home without compromising on the quality of their care.
