About the Employer

The Organization

Fox Chase Cancer Center is a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and provides patient care and research in more than 80 laboratories with more than 2,000 staff, physicians, and scientists. Researchers at Fox Chase have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes, a Kyoto Prize in basic sciences, a Lasker Clinical Research Award, an Albert Szent-Györgyi Prize for Progress in Cancer Research, American Cancer Society Medals of Honor, memberships in the National Academy of Sciences, induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and more. Today, scientific initiatives span a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship, and community outreach. The past few years have seen significant advances in Fox Chase’s clinical, operational, research, and financial performance.

Fox Chase’s affiliation with Temple University (TU) and Temple University Health System (TUHS) and the Lewis Katz School of Medicine began in 2012. Through this arrangement, Fox Chase combines the flexibility of a free-standing cancer center with the scientific and clinical power of a large academic health system. Over the past decade, the size and scope of Fox Chase have expanded in terms of its scientific portfolio, the number of patients served, and the diversity of its patient population: capital upgrades and investments in new technology and physical plant enhancements.

The Region

Fox Chase Cancer Center is located in an attractive residential neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the border of Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. The area offers many housing options, including quiet suburban living and trendy urban neighborhoods, and housing is generally more affordable than in other major Northeastern cities. The City of Philadelphia is one of the most historically significant cities in the United States and offers a unique setting for an eclectic mix of modern lifestyles, mingling both the edgy and the sophisticated.
