The Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center under construction in New Brunswick is a significant project in an investment initiative designed to create an integrated network of cancer care facilities throughout New Jersey. 

Developed by RWJBarnabas Health (RWJBH) and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in partnership with the New Brunswick Development Corporation, the new $750 million, 12-story, 510,000-square-foot facility will be the state’s first and only freestanding cancer hospital. 

The center, named in recognition of the philanthropic leadership of Jack Morris, who has been a longtime supporter and pillar in New Brunswick development, and his wife, Sheryl, will include the wide-ranging advanced oncology care services offered by Rutgers Cancer Institute and RWJBH all under one roof. The new facility is slated to open in early 2025. The new cancer center brings together all facets of research, prevention and clinical care at a single location and will provide a model for cancer care delivery. Patients at the center will receive a range of inpatient and outpatient cancer care, including advanced imaging services, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgical treatments. Wellness, prevention and education resources will also be available for the community, patients, caregivers and families. 

Services at the center will follow a multidisciplinary care model in which cancer specialists throughout RWJBH and Rutgers Cancer Institute collaborate to devise the best treatment plan for each patient, including clinical trials, immunotherapy and precision medicine.
