The mission of RWJBarnabas Health & Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Jersey’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center sounds monumental when summarized in a few words: Built to silence cancer.
The two have been honored for excellence repeatedly and just earned another accolade: the Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center and Rutgers Cancer Institute was recognized as a top 100 cancer program in the U.S. by U.S. News and World Report and a top 10 program in the New York Metropolitan area. The program also earned the new “silver badge” for its superior services and clinical outcomes.
“As New Jersey’s academic health system in partnership with Rutgers University, our mission is to deliver safe, effective, evidence-based care informed by the latest clinical research," said Andy Anderson, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical and Quality Officer at RWJBarnabas Health. "These recognitions reflect the dedication of our physicians, nurses and multidisciplinary care teams and reinforce our commitment to building healthier communities across New Jersey.”
The Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center in New Brunswick, the state's only freestanding cancer hospital, opened in June 2025.
