OncoLink, the first cancer information website, was formed at Penn Medicine

, , ,

On Mar. 7, 1994, Penn Medicine’s Dr. Joel Goldwein established OncoLink, the first cancer information site on the Internet, from his office at the University of Pennsylvania.ᅠ It has become one of the largest such sites, maintained by oncology healthcare professionals who understand the need of patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals.

This award-winning site is maintained by a group of oncology healthcare professionals who understand the needs of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. OncoLink® content is continually updated and ranges from treatment and disease information for a newly diagnosed patient, support through the side effects of treatment, and into survivorship.

OncoLink® provides tools and educational materials to support the practice of busy practitioners, including on treatment education, psychosocial support, and survivorship care plans. These create a one-stop-shop for patient education, enabling more impactful patient interactions, and improving patient-provider communication and satisfaction. In addition, these tools can enable practices to meet regulatory requirements. Their content is available through our Content API, syndication and co-branding to meet your patient education needs.
