Ella Milbank Foshay Cancer Center

Comprehensive Cancer Program
Jupiter Medical Center’s Comprehensive Cancer Care Program is approved by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer (ACOS) as a comprehensive community cancer program. Only 25% of hospitals in the country have ACOS accredited cancer programs. The Radiation  Center is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).  The ACR awards accreditation to facilities for achievement of high standards, qualifications of personnel, facilities, and quality activities. 

These accreditations, along with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), assures our community that the level of cancer services that we provide is the highest quality.

We offer many support groups to assist patients, caregivers and their families by meeting emotional and physical needs. 

Opened July 25, 1986, The Ella Milbank Foshay Cancer Center was designed with the special needs of ambulatory outpatients in mind. The expanded comprehensive cancer center builds upon a number of specialized areas of excellence, offering a multi-disciplinary approach to care that addresses the full spectrum of patient needs. Cancer center services include education and outreach programs, risk assessments, screening and diagnosis, treatment, psychosocial support and rehabilitation. The cancer center is named for Ella Milbank Foshay, wife of William Ward Foshay, and mother of Kathy Plum, Jupiter Medical Center Board Member. The Foshay Cancer Center underwent major renovations, completed in February 2002.

Jupiter Medical Center is dedicated to meeting the special needs of cancer patients and their families. A comprehensive scope of services from diagnostic testing and screening to intensive cancer treatment and rehabilitative care are offered. The cancer care program features a unique continuum of care and essential inpatient and outpatient diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Cancer care for our community is accomplished by a team approach. This assures that each patient and their caregiver’s needs are met on a personal level. The Ella Milbank Foshay Cancer Center serves as the location for our Radiation Oncology, Outpatient Medical Oncology and Infusion Services units. We have a dedicated 26-bed Inpatient Oncology unit for patients requiring hospitalization.
