Welcome aboard
Standing O has put out the welcome mat for Dr. Alan Astrow, who has joined New York Methodist Hospital (NYM) as chief of hematology and medical oncology. Nationally recognized and board-certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hematology, Dr. Astrow is a specialist in treatment for a variety of cancers, particularly breast cancer and gynecologic cancers.

His arrival is a dose of cheer for his colleagues.
