Meet Our Team

Dear Patient, 

Nearly 30 years ago, we began our mission to provide comprehensive quality oncology health care services. Today, at our award-winning, state-of-the-art Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, our regional oncology center serves Philadelphia, Mercer, Bucks, Hunterdon, and Burlington counties and beyond.

Early detection is key when it comes to cancer. Our experienced radiologists provide state-of-the-art diagnostic services, including state-of-the-art CT scans, full-field digital mammography and molecular breast imaging, MRI, PET/CT scans, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, ultrasound, and X-rays. We’re also involved in programs that make cancer screenings accessible for all patients. 

After diagnosis, our team of physicians (from related fields such as medical oncology, surgical oncology, gynecological oncology, therapeutic endoscopy, gastroenterology, radiation oncology, hematology, neurosurgery, radiology/interventional radiology, plastic and reconstructive surgery and other specialties), nurses, navigators, therapists, social workers, nutritionists, rehabilitation staff, pathologists and clinical researchers create a plan that ensures the best possible care for you. The team regularly discusses each patient’s treatment, progress, and plans for life beyond discharge. By keeping all team members fully aware of the issues surrounding each patient’s plan of care, we further ensure that you’re getting the best possible care from a collaborative team effort. 

When it comes to treatment, we provide comprehensive radiation oncology services—including traditional 3-D radiation, IMRT, and brachytherapy seed implantation using the TrueBeamTM Linear Accelerator as well as the non-invasive CyberKnife®Robotic Radiosurgery System—and offer minimally invasive surgery including robotic procedures using the da Vinci® Surgical System. 

Our team of CyberKnife-trained radiation oncologists and neurosurgeons provide a level of expertise that is unmatched in our region. For example, Dr. Shirnett Williamson served as an assistant clinical professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine prior to joining us and Dr. Timothy Chen is a well-known expert in the specialized treatment of gynecological malignancy and lung cancer and serves as president of the Board of Advisory of the American Cancer Society – Eastern Division, where he supervises the Asian Initiatives program. What’s more, our physicians are experienced leaders in their respective fields, capable of providing a wide range of treatment and diagnostic options that fit your lifestyle.  

Our inpatient oncology units provide specialty-trained care to you and your loved ones when and if a hospital stay is necessary. Nurses on the inpatient oncology units and outpatient infusion center are certified by the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), trained in chemotherapy administration, and work closely with the medical oncologists. 

We operate at the highest levels recognized by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC), a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education and the monitoring of comprehensive quality care.

Our Radiation Oncology Department strives to provide quality care and is accredited by the American College of Radiology to ensure that we are meeting their standards. 

We understand that this can be a very stressful time for you and your family and it is our goal to provide you with the most professional and courteous service possible. If during the course of your care you have any concerns, I encourage you to discuss the matter directly with your doctor, or please bring it to my attention by calling 609-537-7043

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. 

Sincerely, 
Rona H. Remstein, RN, MSN
