Our goal to provide patients and their families with access to the latest treatments and resources in a personalized and compassionate manner.

Eastern Connecticut Hematology and Oncology Associates is committed to the care and improvement of human life. In recognition of this commitment, we strive to provide high-quality healthcare in the communities we serve. We act with absolute honesty, integrity, and fairness in the way we conduct our business and in the way we live our lives.

In 1985, Dr. Dennis Slater moved from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York to Norwich, Connecticut. This was in response to the recruitment by The William W. Backus Hospital for a medical oncologist. He began a private practice with the objective of developing a program that would allow patients to receive state-of-the-art cancer treatment within the comfort and convenience of their own community. Over time, Eastern Connecticut Hematology and Oncology grew in size and scope and became the predominant private practice in the area.

It is our goal to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art community cancer care while remaining responsive to our patients, their families, and our community. Our offices and services are located in the Medical Office Building of Backus Hospital, upstairs from Radiation Therapy and near the Cancer Inpatient Unit at Backus.
