Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health is investing $14 million to build a new oncology building across from its Edison-based JFK University Medical Center.
The new four-story facility will double the size of the health system's existing infusion capabilities, according to a March 17 Hackensack Meridian news release.
The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.
"JFK's oncology expansion will allow patients in our community to receive comprehensive oncology services within a seamless continuum of care, close to home. Patients will not have to travel out of state or the local community to receive access to the latest clinical trials and advanced treatments," Amie Thornton, president and chief hospital executive at JFK University Medical Center, said in the release.
