R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Hospital
Exceptional care at our dedicated cancer hospital and cancer campus
The R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Hospital is inside Long Island Jewish Medical Center and across the street from R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center. We're dedicated solely to cancer—that means you can access world-class inpatient, emergency and surgical care right here at the hospital, and continue your outpatient care at the cancer center. We are an integral part of Northwell Health Cancer Institute, one of the largest cancer programs in New York.
Our experts ensure you receive the leading-edge cancer treatment you need—and the personalized care you deserve. We offer internationally recognized surgeons and oncologists, cancer researchers, specially trained nurses and support professionals who bring their expertise here to New York City and Queens.
We take pride in our nationally accredited breast, rectal and pancreatic cancer programs; along with robotic surgery, innovative procedures for rare or advanced cancer, innovative pain management approaches, multidisciplinary clinics, 360 degrees of support, and clinical trials for the newest therapies.
