Winship Cancer Institute

As Georgia's first and only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, Winship Cancer Institute is a national leader in seeking out new ways to defeat cancer and in translating that knowledge into patient care. At Winship, patients have access to clinical trials for virtually every cancer type. In 2023, Winship enrolled more than 900 patients in over 640 interventional and treatment clinical trials. 

In one of our long-standing traditions, patients look forward to ringing a special bell in Winship’s infusion and radiation oncology centers when they finish their treatment. We all know someone touched by cancer, and your support helps Winship create comprehensive programs that will impact tens of thousands of families by allowing their loved ones to ring the bell.

For Emory Day of Giving, we are highlighting these giving opportunities:  

Winship Discovery Fund: Support the greatest needs in cancer research. Funding new ideas and top scientific priorities, the Winship Discovery Fund provides support to the areas of highest potential and of most immediate need in the fight against cancer. 

Winship Way Fund: Support patient care. The Winship Way fund enables critical strategic investments for 21st century cancer care, enabling every patient to have an exceptional care experience and helping achieve the best outcomes for each patient.
