Hannah Yamin, DO, a board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist practicing with Hematology Oncology Specialists of Cape Cod (HOSCC) in North Falmouth, MA, threw out the opening pitch in the July 26, 2025, Cape Cod Baseball League contest between the Bourne Braves and visiting Cotuit Kettleers.
Several St. John Paul II School volunteers from Treats for Treatment, a student-led club dedicated to providing care packages to cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy to lift spirits and offer comfort, joined Dr. Yamin and her HOSCC colleagues at the game. In the fourth inning, attendees raised their Stand Up to Cancer® signs in unison to “root, root, root” not for the home team but for people facing cancer and the clinicians and researchers working to give those patients hope, care, and cures.
“It was both a great honor and great fun to throw out the first pitch,” says Dr. Yamin, who – reliable sources report – hurled a four-seam fastball straight toward the strike zone. She adds, “Baseball is an intrinsic part of summer on the Cape. I’m proud that since my colleague Dr. Victor Aviles founded HOSCC in 2006, our practice also has been woven into the fabric of the community, providing comprehensive, compassionate care to thousands of residents throughout the seasons and across the years.”
Dr. Yamin joined HOSCC in 2014. After earning her Bachelor of Science degree from Saint Michael’s College, she attended medical school at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Yamin then completed her internship and residency at Roger Williams Medical Center (RWMC) in Providence, RI, and her hematology and medical oncology fellowship at the combined Brown University/RWMC program. At HOSCC, Dr. Yamin practices with fellow medical oncologist Victor Aviles, MD.
In 2024, the physicians of HOSCC signed on with Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA), one of the nation’s largest networks of oncology specialists. RCCA has more than 20 locations near you in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, and the Washington, D.C., area. RCCA’s cancer specialists see more than 30,000 new patients each year and provide care to more than 265,000 established patients, collaborating closely with those patients’ other physicians. RCCA physicians offer patients innovative therapies, including immunotherapies and targeted therapy, as well as access to approximately 300 clinical trials. In addition to serving patients who have solid tumors, blood-based cancers, and benign blood disorders, RCCA care centers also provide infusion services to people with a number of non-oncologic conditions—including multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, asthma, iron-deficiency anemia, and rheumatoid arthritis — who take intravenously-administered medications.
