Dr. Weeks founded the Family Cancer Center with the understanding that cancer affects the whole family. Having practiced in the fields of Medical Oncology and Hematology for nearly 20 years, Dr. Weeks is dedicated to working with cancer patients to ensure that their treatment includes services and programs that help their family and friends establish a community of care and support.

With the goal of providing cutting edge medical care, Dr. Weeks is making a major commitment to participate in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials in a formal manner and the Family Cancer Center currently employs two full-time oncology nurses and data-managers devoted to clinical cancer research.

Dr. Weeks is the married father of two teenagers and, when time permits, his extra-medical passion is running---and not just down the hospital corridors. Dr. Weeks has completed sixteen marathon races with a goal to run in every state in the union.  Dr. Weeks is married to Dr. Melissa Hudson, a professor of Pediatric Oncology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  She has published numerous articles mostly concerned with Hodgkin's Disease and late effects of chemotherapy.
