The Penn State Cancer Institute is a cancer research center of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center located in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The Institute provides clinical care, research, education, and community outreach services throughout central and eastern Pennsylvania.
In July 2009, Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute opened the doors to its new state-of-the-art, 178,000-square-foot (16,500 m2) freestanding building located on the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center campus.
Researchers and caregivers will be more closely connected, and will have the resources for strategic partnerships with scientists at Penn State's other campuses.
To complement funding through federal and state grants, borrowing, and Medical Center reserves, the Cancer Institute is seeking to raise $65 million in philanthropy.
