The 62,000-square-foot regional cancer center, which will be built at Monroeville-based Forbes Hospital in a space currently dedicated to staff parking, is part of AHN’s plan to construct up to 10 community cancer centers across the region in a partnership with Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Forbes Hospital’s existing Intercommunity Cancer Center will be demolished and converted into a parking lot upon completion of the new regional cancer center.

The new cancer center is expected to open in early 2019. No further details were released.
