RegionalCare and Eliza Coffee Memorial had advanced that a cancer center would improve continuity of cancer care in the Florence area, but the project was opposed by Sheffield, Ala.-based Helen Keller Hospital and Alliance Oncology in Florence, both of which provide radiation oncology in the Florence region.
Alabama‘s state certificate of need board said that the proposal presented by RegionalCare and Eliza Coffee Memorial did not meet state requirements for approval, according to the report.
The two parties will not continue to seek approval for the cancer center at this time.
