Springfield, MA – Mercy Medical Center broke ground on May 14th at the Sister Caritas Cancer Center on a $15 million expansion and renovation designed by MorrisSwitzer~Environments for Health.

This project will increase efficiency by consolidating outpatient cancer care programs in one collaborative space and to improve the patient experience by increasing privacy and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

The expansion to the existing Radiation Oncology Treatment program will include a 12,500sf medical oncology clinic with 12 exam rooms, as well as a 13,500sf medical oncology treatment space with 32 infusion bays and two private infusion rooms. The infusion bays include privacy screening, personal televisions, and space to accommodate a supporting family member or friend.

The Mercy Cancer Center project is scheduled for completion in Summer of 2015.
