MHA 599
Introduction
West Islip and the surrounding areas are increasing numbers in cancer. The Cancer Center and
Good Samaritan Hospital are partnering to engage in the community on the eastern side of
Long Island, New York. Good Samaritan is constantly expanding new ideas for research and to
help catch the disease before it progresses. We are trying to formulate new ideas and programs
to lessen the costs.
Operational Costs
Acquiring an operational credit would help with the considerable expenses related to giving
medicinal services in West Islip. We have 22 available chairs at the Cancer Center, but they are
not all utilized due to the nursing staff shortage at the facility. The expense of hiring more staff
and keeping up with supplies and the office would possibly require roughly $150 million. We
are considering an extension of the institute, including cost consideration, finance, and project
management. All supporting parts of the plan will most likely require an operational credit, so
another alternative is getting an award for research and preparation. Plans to create a safe and
trustworthy facility will most likely cost another $18 million-plus for the expansion and
programs to cater to the community where there are more than one hundred diseases and
more than 1.4 million people diagnosed with cancer just this year alone. (Good Samaritan
