New Orleans-based Ochsner Health System broke ground Thursday on a $20 million cancer center expansion at Ochsner Medical Center in Jefferson, La., according to New Orleans City Business.
The expansion of the Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center will double the size of the existing center. It will add 100,000-square feet, 26 more chemotherapy stations and infusion spaces for bone marrow transplant patients. Additionally, the existing breast cancer center, which is located across the street, will move into the new facility.
The project will be partially funded by Gayle and Tom Benson, for whom the building is named.
