Bassett And Fox Partner On Cancer Services In Oneonta - Bassett Moving Across Town To FoxCare

Cooperstown, N.Y. – The Bassett Cancer Institute is moving its cancer services in Oneonta from 7 Associate Drive to the FoxCare Center on state Route 7. A ribbon cutting is planned for Monday, February 28 to celebrate the opening of the Bassett Cancer Institute’s Cancer Center at FoxCare. Patients will be seen at the new location beginning that same Monday. Renovations to existing space at FoxCare have been underway since August to accommodate the relocation of Bassett’s cancer services in Oneonta. 

Once the work is complete, Dr. Yoshiro Matsuo, Bassett hematologist and oncologist, will see cancer patients at the new location. “The spacious new facility will better accommodate the needs of patients served by Bassett and A.O. Fox Hospital in the Greater Oneonta area,” notes Dr. Matsuo, who explains that the new space is more conducive to patient comfort and affords more privacy for patients receiving chemotherapy treatments. “The location at FoxCare also means that patients can get radiation and chemotherapy under the same roof.”

In addition, Dr. James Leonardo and Patty Jacob, family nurse practitioner, will work alongside Dr. Matsuo and continue to see cancer patients in Oneonta. Staff with the Bassett-Fox Radiation Oncology Program will continue to provide radiation therapy at FoxCare under the direction of Bassett’s Chief of Radiation Oncology Dr. Timothy Campbell.

Cancer patients and their families are invited to see the newly renovated cancer center and meet some of the staff at the opening celebration February 28 beginning at 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

From skilled medical treatment to support and education, the goal of the Bassett Cancer Institute is to provide cancer patients and their families with everything they need to combat cancer effectively.
