St. Mary's Janesville Hospital is breaking ground on an addition that will expand its local cancer services, providing patients radiation oncology treatment closer to home.
A $10 million radiation oncology facility it will build out of the current infusion area at the hospital where cancer patients now receive chemotherapy and surgical oncology.
The expansion, a single-story, 8,750-square-foot area, would house new computer imaging equipment and a linear accelerator designed to administer radiation therapy to cancer patients with “pinpoint” accuracy.
The hospital plans to have the expansion built, staffed and operating by August 2016.
