Renovations within Greenwich Hospital’s Olive and Thomas J. Watson Pavilion and the Sherman and Gloria H. Cohen Pavilion will make way for next-level cancer care, including:
• Infusion therapy
• Multispecialty clinic
• Radiation oncology

What does legacy mean to you? For this mother and daughter, it is about giving back to their hometown of Greenwich. The late Harry Keleshian helped shape Greenwich Avenue, and his wife and daughter continue now by helping to shape the future of oncology care by supporting the new Smilow Cancer Hospital at Greenwich Hospital. We are both inspired and deeply grateful!

We recently had the honor of welcoming back a Greenwich Hospital legend: retired and beloved oncologist Dr. Dickerman Hollister Jr.

He stopped by to hear about the exciting plans for the new Smilow Cancer Hospital at Greenwich Hospital. It was an incredibly moving moment as he reflected on the decades he spent caring for patients here and saw the future of cancer care taking shape. His warm response not only affirms the importance of this expansion, but also the importance of community, belonging and compassion.

Thank you, Dr. Hollister! We are building on the strong foundation you helped create.
