Stamford Health's Bennett Cancer Center is recognized as a comprehensive cancer center, offering excellence in cancer treatment that is patient and family-centered.

For the last 28 years, Stamford Health's Bennett Cancer Center has combined state-of-the-art technology, clinical expertise and a holistic approach to treating patients. In 2019, the Bennett Cancer Center received two recognitions from the Commission on Cancer, the Outstanding Achievement Award and a three-year accreditation with commendations for all six eligible standards.
