Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston is planning to create a new, approximately $20 million comprehensive cancer center in Needham, Mass., according to a hospital news release.
The hospital is scheduled to break ground on the 30,000-square-foot building in the spring of 2012, pending state and local approvals, and complete the project in the spring of 2014. The center will include advanced imaging systems, six new infusion bays, a radiation oncology suite with a linear accelerator and access to clinical trials and novel treatments.
The project is the second phase of improvements and expansions of care for patients in Needham and surrounding communities at BID-Needham. In Oct. 2009, the Needham hospital opened a new emergency department and inpatient wing.
