PHILADELPHIA (August 1, 2016) — Christopher J. Manley, MD, has joined Fox Chase Cancer Center as the director of interventional pulmonology in the Department of Medicine.

In addition, Manley has participated in various medical and humanitarian missions, including travel to the Dominican Republic with the Institute for Latin American Concern’s ENT Clinic and to Zambia, Africa with Habitat for Humanity International.

“Fox Chase is a cancer center dedicated to excellence,” Manley said. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Dr. Weinberg and the rest of the pulmonology team.”
