The new hospital will be the first dedicated to cancer care in Wake County (N.C.). It is expected to cost the system $60 million, according to a report by the Triangle Business Journal.
N.C. Cancer Hospital is projected to open in 2014 and will house new cancer care technological equipment and resources for patients, including garden spaces, a boutique and clinics. Patients will also have access to further oncology expertise through the hospital’s affiliation with the UNC Health Care System and its N.C. Cancer Hospital.
“We are grateful that the state recognized the need for a comprehensive cancer care center in our area,” David Strong, president of Rex Healthcare, said in the release. “As the population of Wake and surrounding counties continues to grow and age, we will now be better able to meet patients’ increasing needs for care with the N.C. Cancer Hospital at Rex.”
