NYCBS is excited to provide the community with world-class cancer care in the preserved classic piece of land, with its fully restored iconic storefront window and architecture.

“We are so grateful to our friends in the town of Brookhaven and the Historical Society for working with us to restore this building to its historic grandeur,” said Jeff Vacirca, MD, CEO. “Like all of our locations, our goal is quite simple, to bring the best in cancer and blood care to our local communities."
