WELLSVILLE, NY (May 29, 2020) – The official ribbon cutting
at the new UR Medicine | Wilmot Cancer Institute Oncology and Infusion Center,
Part of Jones Memorial Hospital is still a couple of weeks away, but Oncologist
Dr. Neeta Soni has started seeing patients at the new 6000-square foot center.
The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the new outpatient
oncology center, located at 1504 W. State Street in Olean, is set for Friday,
June 19, 2020. Because of COVID-19 restrictions on the size of public
gatherings, the event is by invitation only.
“There are a limited number of options for celebrating an
event like this,” said Brenda Szabo, Vice President of Specialty Services at
Jones Memorial. “We can only have 10 people attend the event in person, but
wanted to make sure that everyone who is interested can see everything the new
center has to offer so we will be broadcasting it as a Facebook Live event and
then posting that video on our website.” The new Olean office has five exam
rooms and 10 infusion chairs, as well as an educational area for patients
Local oncologist Neeta Soni, MD, who joined the UR Medicine
| Wilmot Cancer Institute team last year will continue to provide consultation
and treatment to oncology patients at The Infusion Center at Jones Memorial in
Wellsville as well as the new office in Olean.
“We wanted to keep access to these services close to home
and convenient for these communities,” said Szabo. “Cancer patients who were
driving to larger metropolitan areas like Buffalo and Rochester, can avoid that
drive and receive quality cancer care with Dr. Soni, an experienced and
knowledgeable oncologist.”
To attend the virtual ribbon cutting, go to the Jones
Memorial Hospital Facebook page (Facebook.com/jmhny) at noon on Friday, June
19. The video will be available on the hospital website, jones.rochester.edu
