Fighting cancer through research, education, and advocacy

Established in 2002, Georgia CORE was created to bridge the gap between cutting-edge cancer research and the communities that need it most. We bring together the state's oncology community to increase access to innovative treatments for patients, resources for survivors, and screenings and prevention services for all Georgians.

Northside Hospital Cancer Institute is proud to be a partner of Georgia CORE. Together, we are working to ensure that every Georgian, regardless of geography or income, has access to the latest advancements in cancer care.
