Bel Air, Md.-based Upper Chesapeake Health and University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore have announced the completion of the Patricia D. and M. Scott Kaufman Cancer Center at the Upper Chesapeake Hospital Bel Air campus, according to a report from The Baltimore Sun.

The $61 million, 75,000-square-foot facility features a 27-bay infusion center, three private rooms, a healing garden, a breast center, radiation oncology areas, complementary alternative medicine and Cancer LifeNet, a logistical and financial support system for those struggling with cancer care.

Upper Chesapeake Health's partnership with the University Maryland Medical System means that patients from the Kaufman Cancer Center can also take advantage of clinicians and services offered through the University's Baltimore-based Greenbaum Cancer Center, according to the report.
