Winship Cancer Network

As Georgia's only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University has expertise and a vast number of resources that are available to the Winship Cancer Network. The network provides the unique opportunity for community health care organizations in the region to collaborate with Winship as a major academic research center, while simultaneously building and refining individual strengths and programs.

Our disease-specific tumor boards meet weekly to discuss individual cases, review treatment plans, and assess clinical trial eligibility. We are proud to be leaders in national and international clinical trials in cancer, making the latest treatments available to your patients in Georgia and the Southeast.

WinshipMD - Physician Directory App

The WinshipMD app (Winship physician directory) is a web-based mobile application exclusively for physicians and advanced practice providers enabling them to search and find a Winship physician by name, location, or treatment specialty and gain access to their direct contact information.

The app helps build and strengthen relationships with community physicians by improving access to Winship physicians, and serving as an added communication tool for second opinions and patient referrals. First-time access is vetted and granted by the Community Outreach Network Administrator. Winship physicians can use their Emory University or Healthcare ID to log into the app.
