Hospitals in Boston and South Weymouth team up to fight cancer

Two Boston-based institutions—Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital—are collaborating with South Weymouth-based South Shore Hospital to provide comprehensive cancer care for South Shore residents who won't have to travel to Boston. Each hospital is funding a third of the cost of the center, which will be known as the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center in clinical affiliation with South Shore Hospital.
