According to a press release from Noyes Health, Senator Young toured the renovated Diagnostic Imaging and Physical Therapy space, which will be opening soon. The cancer center, scheduled for completion in 2017, will serve as a hub for oncology services across the Southern Tier.
“The Ann and Carl Myers Cancer Center project is unique in our region,” said Senator Young. “It comes at a time when health systems across the country are forging relationships to ensure specialty services while improving quality.”
Tim Levee, Pike Company Project Superintendent and Deb McCray, Noyes Health Engineering Project Manager detailed the phase of construction that the cancer center project was in as well as the additional renovations that would be occurring to existing space in the hospital.
The cancer center is a collaborative project between the Wilmot Cancer Institute, Jones Memorial Hospital and Noyes Health. The Ann and Carl Myers Cancer Center will be located on the campus of Noyes Hospital and provide patients in the Finger Lakes, Southern Tier and Western New York more convenient access to comprehensive cancer care.
The project was established with a $2 million gift from Ann and Carl Myers.
The $5.8 million project will feature a 4,500-square-foot, lower level addition to house radiation oncology clinic and a 2,300-square-foot medical oncology clinic, featuring three exam rooms and five chemotherapy and infusion bays, in renovated and new first-floor space.
The regional cancer center will also provide patients with access to services including advanced diagnostic testing, clinical trials, outpatient palliative care, and Wilmot Cancer Institute’s Judy DiMarzo Cancer Survivorship Program.
The center includes a medical oncology clinic in Hornell, Steuben County.
Physicians at the cancer center and medical oncology clinic at Jones will have access to UR Medicine’s region-wide electronic medical record system and regular consultations with multidisciplinary teams focused on cancer.
