Columbus-based OhioHealth has begun construction on a $226 million outpatient cancer center at its administrative campus, with completion expected in late 2028, a spokesperson for the health system confirmed to Becker’s.
Five things to know:
1. The five-story facility will span 199,000 square feet. It is designed to create a centralized destination for outpatient cancer care, bringing together services currently spread across OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital and the Bing Cancer Center.
2. The new facility will offer a range of services, including radiation oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, blood and marrow transplant, infusion, imaging and lab services. It will also house specialized cancer clinics and supportive care programs, with capacity to add new services over time.
3. OhioHealth is partnering with Columbus Oncology & Hematology on the center, expanding an existing relationship that includes cancer centers in Dublin and Westerville, Ohio. As part of the project, the group will relocate its Jasonway Avenue practice to the new site.
4. Construction began this month with the installation of fencing around a surface parking lot at the campus.
5. OhioHealth operates 16 hospitals, three joint-venture hospitals and more than 200 ambulatory sites across a 50-county region.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place October 29–31 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.
