About Us

A Message

Health care professionals share a common goal:  to restore and maintain our patients’ health and quality of life to the greatest extent possible, and to do so with medical excellence and compassion. I have had the privilege to be associated with The Cancer Center of Saint Barnabas since its opening and, in that time, have worked with a talented,committed staff unparalleled in its dedication to caring. I have also seen the scope of available services expand tremendously during this time in such areas as psychosocial support and education, so vital to our patients’ well-being; integrative medicine; and the availability of new treatments through our clinical research program. 

True to its history, Saint Barnabas is among the largest and busiest cancer facilities in New Jersey, ranked by volume by the Association of Community Cancer Centers.  I believe this is a reflection of the resources available through our Oncology Program,both at Saint Barnabas Medical Center and the Ambulatory Care Center, as well as the commitment of our staff – a commitment not only to continuing professional education in this rapidly changing field, but also to offer truly state-of-the-art medical care with a unique level of personalized attention and caring.  I hope you will take moment to peruse our web site to learn a bit about our physicians and about the services The Cancer Center of Saint Barnabas can provide.

Sincerely,

Richard Michaelson, M.D.
Chief Medical Officer for Oncology
