2 Central Peninsula Hospital Shaun Keef, CEO Central Peninsula Hospital A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Elevating cancer care Photo by Rowena Weathers Over the past decade, Central Peninsula Hospital (CPH) has worked diligently to enhance health care services in the region. One such service involves oncology. With the addition of the Central Peninsula Oncology Clinic and upgraded Oncology/ Infusion Center that opened in the River Tower in 2017, CPH has been able to offer advanced oncology services. This has allowed patients the option of staying close to home for their care. Expanding the team CPH recently added two medical oncologists to the team to increase your access to oncology care: David Eilender, MD, and Musaberk Goksel, MD, FACP. They both start in November 2023. They will join the hospital’s Oncology Department, which previously had only one medical oncologist. The recruitment of these two new physicians will improve access and care provided to cancer patients in the region. Dr. Eilender and Dr. Goksel are both experienced medical oncologists who have worked in various health care settings. Dr. Eilender has over 30 years of experience in hematology and oncology, working in both the academic and community settings. Dr. Goksel has close to 17 years of experience in hematology and oncology, has worked in both private practice and hospital settings, and has published several research articles during his career. Adding Dr. Eilender and Dr. Goksel to the Oncology Department at CPH will have a significant positive impact on cancer care in the region. With the addition of these medical oncologists, the hospital will be able to increase its ability to provide comprehensive care to cancer patients. This includes the ability to see more patients in a timely manner and provide a more robust cancer program, with the added expertise and experience within the system. The recruitment of these physicians will further enhance the program’s ability to care for patients and elevate patient experience and satisfaction. The Central Peninsula Oncology Clinic and the Ed & Lila Ann Krohn Family Oncology and Infusion Center at CPH are excited about the recent recruitment developments for the hospital and patients alike. With the expertise and experience that Dr. Eilender and Dr. Goksel bring, the hospital will be better equipped to provide high-quality cancer care to patients in need. The recruitment of these physicians is a testament to your hospital’s commitment to providing patient-centered care close to home and the push to be a leading health care provider in the region.
