When completed, the new 32,000-square-foot, $20 million cancer center will have three floors and include the Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG) Hematology Oncology physician practice, an expanded infusion suite with private therapy rooms, radiation oncology services, telemedicine capabilities and a session suite for rotating cancer specialists.
“The need is very clear, and this expansion will allow our patients to receive many of their treatments in a centralized location,” said Terry Purcell, President, LVHN Northwest Region. “Our community will benefit greatly from this advanced cancer facility, and we are very proud to build upon and enhance the current cancer services we offer.”
Purcell thanked elected officials, zoning boards and commissions of the city of Hazleton for their ongoing support. He also thanked members of LVHN and LVH–Hazleton Boards of Trustees, leadership teams and staff of LVH–Hazleton, LVHN and Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute for their innovative planning and patient-centered thinking, and their facilities and construction partners who are bringing this project to life.
The cancer center is expected to open spring 2023.
