At Penn Medicine Princeton Health, we’re proud to support our community members on every step of their health journeys.

At a recent half-day symposium, From Struggle to Solution: A New Take on Weight & Health, our experts had the chance to share valuable education and empowering strategies. From nutrition and mindfulness to cutting-edge medical, endoscopic, and surgical options, attendees left with knowledge of a wide range of tools for maintaining a healthy weight and improving their overall health.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our incredible team whose dedication made this event possible. Together, we’re building a healthier, stronger community!

Our team came together to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Penn Medicine Princeton Cancer Center, a huge milestone for the future of cancer care right here on our campus.

Employees gathered to enjoy cake, apples, and cider, and to partake in games like Spin-the-Wheel featuring fun facts about the new center and a tower-building challenge that brought out everyone’s competitive side.

It was a day full of laughter, learning, and pride as we marked the beginning of a new chapter, one that will bring advanced cancer care and hope even closer to home.

It was a day of celebration as Penn Medicine leaders and regional community representatives broke ground on the Penn Medicine Princeton Cancer Center—a transformative $401 million project that will deliver a full spectrum of cancer services to patients in Central New Jersey.

Located on the campus of Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, the 200,000-square-foot center, scheduled to open in May 2028, will bring radiation therapy, infusion, breast imaging, and diagnostics together under one roof, simplifying the treatment journey for patients in our region.

“This is a significant first step in our efforts to redefine cancer care in Central New Jersey,” said Princeton Health CEO James Demetriades. “The Penn Medicine Princeton Cancer Center will offer patients seamless access to clinical trials, personalized therapies, and coordinated care across our entire health system.”

The project, which includes a recently completed 6-story parking garage and a planned imaging center, is the largest expansion of Princeton Health since the new hospital opened in 2012. The new cancer center will house more than 40 exam rooms, 30 infusion chairs, and two linear accelerators to deliver radiation therapy.

The center will also feature a breast imaging center and advanced diagnostic technologies including CT, MRI, and SPECT/CT, which provides clearer images at lower radiation doses and enables physicians to both detect cancer earlier and guide treatment with greater precision.

“If you truly invest in and care about your team as people, you will succeed.”

That’s the heart of Sunita Mani, PT, director of outpatient rehab at Princeton Health.

When she first joined in 2012, the Plainsboro clinic was nothing more than a tiny trailer with one desk, one bike, and one treatment table.

Today it’s a thriving, specialized center offering care in vestibular, golf, dance, and neuro-rehabilitation, all thanks to Sunita’s people-first vision.

Because for Sunita, it goes beyond building a program. It’s about building trust, community, and creating a place where patients and providers work together to heal.

Just before her 34th birthday, Kate Korson—then living in Colorado—found a lump in her breast she described as “massive.” Everything came to a screeching halt when after a mammogram, the radiologist delivered devastating news: it looked like cancer.

Kate called Penn Medicine that same day. She knew she wanted to be treated close to her childhood home, a place where both of her parents had once received lifesaving care. When she connected with a nurse navigator, she felt immediate relief, knowing someone would guide her through every step of treatment for triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive and challenging diagnosis.

“Even if I lived halfway across the world, Penn is where I would have gone,” Kate said.

Shocked to learn she had stage III breast cancer, Kate Korson knew just where to go. She flew home to Penn Medicine, where a clinical trial saved her life.

After her twin tested BRCA2-positive, Brooklyn Olumba got tested, leading to her own breast cancer diagnosis. Now she’s educating other young women of color.

“The biggest thing that I want people to know is that your family’s history is also your history,” Brooklyn said. “If you’re not having these open conversations, you can’t be proactive. If my fraternal twin sister hadn’t gotten genetic testing, I wouldn’t have had my first mammogram until I was 40.”
