Exceptional Care, Knowledge and Compassion
The Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson is recognized by The Melanoma Hope Network (MHN) as a Melanoma Center of Excellence (MCE). MHN has designated MCEs across the United States to recognize melanoma treatment centers and doctors, both academic and community based, that offer exceptional care, knowledge and compassion to patients diagnosed with melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer and also the major cause of death in adult eye tumors.
MHN is a nonprofit organization established to bring hope, education and direct personal support to patients diagnosed with melanoma. MNH strives to support research, increase patient awareness of clinical trials, and assists primary physicians in finding the appropriate treatments for their patients in their particular stage of melanoma. MHN also acts as a central place for melanoma centers across the country to collaborate, share data and to update and educate their staffs.
