Dallas-based University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has broken ground on a $177 million radiation oncology facility in Fort Worth.
The facility is expected to open in 2028 and will be connected to UT Southwestern’s Moncrief Cancer Institute, according to a May 12 news release from the university.
Once open, it will be the largest radiation oncology facility in the Fort Worth area and home to the city’s first MRI-guided precision radiation treatment system, the release said.
The facility will also feature four linear accelerators, PET imaging and a brachytherapy suite.
The expansion was made possible through a donation from philanthropists Sherri and Robert “Bobby” L. Patton Jr., the release said.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
