Membership
Cancer Center Membership provides a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team approach, and continuum of care for the cancer patient. This will assure the highest quality of care and the best outcomes.
There are two ways for you to become a Member of the Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center.

For those members of the Medical Staff directly involved in the care of cancer patients, there is now an opportunity to become a Full Member of the Cancer Center.
Becoming a Full Member demonstrates a provider’s commitment to the care of cancer patients through educational activities and involvement in Cancer Center programs. Application to full membership is open to physicians, Physician Assistants, APRNs, and Registered Nurses with either Oncology Certification (OCN) or Certification in Hospice and Palliative Care (CHPN).
