                       Tuesday, October 17, 2023

  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, it is my honor to mark the 
special occasion of the 10-year celebration of the AtlantiCare Cancer 
Care Institute in the AtlantiCare Health Park in Cape May Court House, 
South Jersey. AtlantiCare has cared for patients with cancer since they 
opened as Atlantic City Hospital, now AtlantiCare Regional Medical 
Center, nearly 125 years ago. They opened their regional cancer center 
in 1989, their Egg Harbor Township location in 2009, and the Cancer 
Care Institute in Cape May Court House in 2013. Through this journey, 
AtlantiCare has evolved how it approaches cancer and invested in the 
most advanced technology to predict, detect and treat the disease. By 
offering a full spectrum of care that includes CyberK.nife, Varian 
TrueBeam linear accelerators and advances in immunotherapy treatments, 
genetics and oral chemotherapy, AtlantiCare is able to target specific 
cancers efficiently and with maximum comfort. Paired with a 
comprehensive suite of support services--including in-house pharmacy 
and lab, social services, genetics counseling, and lung nodule, 
surgical oncology, cardio oncology and palliative care clinics--
AtlantiCare has spent the last decade ensuring that patients in Cape 
May County are able to obtain the treatment they need right in their 
own community. The cancer care team at AtlantiCare is led by some of 
the most experienced medical and radiation oncologists in the region, 
known as much for their compassionate care as their skill in taking on 
even the most complex cancers. The residents of Cape May County deserve 
cancer care that is as exceptional as the county itself. The 
comprehensive and state-of-the-art oncological services provided by the 
Cancer Care Institute in Cape May Court House are commendable and 
deserve to be recognized. Thank you to all the staff at AtlantiCare 
Cancer Care Institute for the crucial work they do for our community, 
and it is

AtlantiCare Cancer Care Institute, and God Bless our United States of 
America.
