Around Fox Chase

We never stop when it comes to cancer. That’s the message behind our new video, which showcases Fox Chase’s relentless pursuit of innovation to discover new ways to deliver excellence in cancer care.

On the afternoon of October 28, 2024, Fox Chase Cancer Center unveiled the latest iteration of its Mobile Screening Unit (MSU), which has evolved over nearly four decades to become a cancer research center on wheels. The MSU is dedicated to screening and outreach in Philadelphia and its surrounding counties, as well as parts of New Jersey. Bigger than a SEPTA bus, the unit is now expanding its capabilities to include new services as well as support for cancer science and population studies.

“When I first saw the video, I was so emotional because my journey started as a patient,” said Felicita Beideman, a guest services ambassador at Fox Chase Cancer Center. “I can’t believe I’m here today and I’m a part of this.”

At Fox Chase Cancer Center, everyone has an important role to play in continuous quality improvement. That’s clear from the approach of the campus’ Performance Improvement team, which emphasizes the importance of excellence at every level of the organization. Hear from several members on what quality means to them, how they have worked to implement best practices throughout Fox Chase, and why they’re so proud to be part of Performance Improvement.

More than 550 members of the Fox Chase Cancer Center community gathered in Center City on a recent Saturday night to celebrate the cancer center’s 50th Anniversary Gala. This unforgettable affair raised nearly $5 million (and counting) for clinical research and patient care at Fox Chase.

With a close 3-2 game against the Houston Astros, the Phillies pulled together to earn yet another win for Philadelphia one late August night.
