Providing hope for patients with cancer... Winship Cancer Institute was founded in 1937, with a generous gift to Emory from Coca-Cola President Robert Winship Woodruff, who named the center after his grandfather as a way of honoring his mother who lost her battle to cancer. His mission was that no one would need to leave Georgia for the best cancer treatment. He envisioned doctors and researchers working together in the same facility, so that scientists would be reminded of the urgency of their work and motivated to bring innovative treatments to patients... At Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, our researchers and comprehensive care specialists are improving health outcomes in our community. By working together, we are providing hope to patients and families across Georgia.
