WVU Medicine Princeton (W.Va.) Community Hospital has taken the first step toward building a $35 million comprehensive cancer center.
The system demolished a former laundry facility to make way for the new 45,500-square-foot center, according to an April 7 news release from the system. Once the center is completed, it will offer medical oncology, infusion therapy, advanced imaging and radiation therapy.
The cancer center is part of a nearly $400 million system project to expand healthcare in the region. It is also the second cancer center that the system has broken ground on in the last month. In March, the system broke ground on the $122 million WVU Cancer Institute St. Joseph Regional Cancer Complex, which is set to open in fall 2028.
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.
