Quote
“The number one thing we hear from our patients is we wish we had heard of you sooner.” “With our new facilities [in December 2005 CTCA opened its first east coast hospital in Philadelphia], we’ll be within 300 miles of 90% of the population within the next five years. We believe we make a real difference in patients’ lives, and we believe we can change the face of cancer forever. Our desire to grow is not a business imperative, it’s a moral one.”
