Philadelphia-based Temple University Health System has appointed Robert Winn, MD, as director of the Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Dr. Winn will step into the role later this summer, according to a March 19 news release from Fox Chase.
He has served as director of Richmond, Va.-based VCU Health Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center since 2019 and holds the Lipman Chair in Oncology. Under Dr. Winn’s leadership, the VCU Massey Cancer Center achieved a comprehensive cancer center designation from the National Cancer Institute in 2023.
“When we recruited Dr. Winn, I asked him to stay at least five years and lead our efforts to achieve comprehensive status,” VCU Health President Michael Rao, PhD, said in a March 19 news release. “He has fulfilled his promises and has exceeded the timeline, and I am sincerely grateful for Rob’s unmatchable partnership and friendship.”
In September, Dr. Winn spoke to Becker’s about his growing concerns about an oncology workforce shortage and how to address them.
