Pharmacy Times® Expands Its Strategic Alliance Partnership Program With the Addition of Yale Cancer Center

Pharmacy Times®, the leading multimedia resource for pharmacy professionals, is excited to announce Yale Cancer Center is now part of its Strategic Alliance Partnership (SAP) program.

“As a world leader in cancer research and education, Yale Cancer Center is devoted to training the next generation of cancer care leaders,” said Gil Hernandez, vice president of Pharmacy & Healthcare Communications, LLC, publisher of Pharmacy Times®. “We look forward to disseminating clinically rooted information to keep health care providers well versed in treatment landscapes, with the greater goal of improving patient outcomes.”

Yale Cancer Center combines a tradition of innovative cancer treatment and quality care for patients. A National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center for more than 45 years, Yale Cancer Center is one of 51 such centers in the nation and the only one in Connecticut.

Yale Cancer Center is a collaboration between nationally and internationally renowned scientists and physicians at Yale School of Medicine and Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven. This partnership enables the center to provide the best approaches for prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

“Pharmacists serve as key members of multidisciplinary cancer care teams,” said Kevin Billingsley, M.D., MBA, FACS, chief medical officer at Yale Cancer Center. “Pharmacy Times® provides a special opportunity for our organization to communicate in a more direct and timely way with our pharmacy colleagues around the country.”

The Pharmacy Times® SAP program is a community of advocacy groups and medical associations and institutions that foster collaboration and an open exchange of information among trusted peers for the benefit of patients and their families. As part of this joint effort, Pharmacy Times® will work with Yale Cancer Center to inform and educate practicing pharmacists in Directions in Oncology Pharmacy® and Directions in Health Systems™ publications.
