The first of its kind cancer center is opening in Fairfield thanks to a major healthcare partnership. Hartford HealthCare and Memorial Sloan Kettering are opening a new facility, still under construction, to bring the highest quality care for cancer patients in southern Connecticut. The plan also calls for a dedicated cancer unit at St. Vincent’s Medical Center. We spoke with Kristi Gafford and Dr. Valerie Brutus about the announcement. Gafford is the senior vice president of Operations at HHC and Dr. Brutus is a HHC Cancer Institute breast surgeon.
