This winter the Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) Board of Trustees unanimously approved plans to build a $4.25 million comprehensive regional cancer center, to adjoin the radiation therapy center on the EasternWoods campus in Findlay.
As part of the ongoing commitment by BVHS to offer the best cancer care available, the new center will enhance efforts to cure cancers and provide easy access for patients.
According to Kimberly Benson, director of oncology services, “A comprehensive community cancer center will allow us to consolidate many cancer services in one location and add support services that patients and their loved ones need during cancer treatment and recovery. With this expansion, patients will have one location to receive exceptional cancer care in Findlay, Ohio.”
The comprehensive cancer center expansion comes on the heels of a 2013 investment in a new TrueBeam Linear Accelerator, which offers advanced radiation therapy for some of the most complex cancers. The TrueBeam is one of two advanced linear accelerators used for cancer treatment at Blanchard Valley.
Plans for the new center are currently being developed, and construction is expected in 2014.
