“Our goal at Rock Row is to provide every patient with exceptional, personalized care without the burden of navigating multiple locations,” said Claire Cote, Chief Operations Officer at New England Cancer Specialists. “Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing ongoing treatment, or preparing for life after cancer, we now have the team, tools, and environment to support your journey—every step of the way.”

The Center for Breast Health delivers expert care for both benign and cancerous breast conditions, risk-reduction planning for high-risk patients, and collaborative treatment planning with our radiation oncology and medical oncology teams. The Survivorship Program ensures patients leave active treatment with a clear plan, while our Nutrition and Counseling Services provide vital support to optimize healing and quality of life.

This expansion reflects NECS’s commitment to whole-person care and its role as the only Dana-Farber Cancer Institute affiliate in Maine and New Hampshire. With thousands of patients served annually across four locations, NECS continues to redefine community-based cancer care with depth, compassion, and innovation.
