Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Grove City opened its doors to community members this past Monday to tour its recently renovated Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $4.4 million project increased the building\u2019s square footage from 1,145 to 3,100 square feet and upgraded the treatment center\u2019s facilities, designed to provide patients with a more private, comfortable and convenient experience, according to an AHN press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A $1 million donation from the Grove City Health Care Foundation helped fund the upgrades. The Buhl Regional Health Foundation also contributed $65,000 to help patients in Lawrence and Mercer counties by paying for lodging and travel expenses while undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Grove City Health Care Foundation is proud to have played a key role in bringing this state-of-the-art cancer center to our community,\u201d attorney Tim Bonner, the foundation\u2019s chair, said in AHN\u2019s release. \u201cThis investment reflects our commitment to ensuring that residents have access to the best possible health care services right here in Grove City.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renovation added two chemotherapy infusion bays to the facility, allowing AHN to administer chemo to eight patients at once. The new infusion bays were larger, so patients could bring a family member or friend with them while receiving treatment. The new third exam room at the institute seeks to reduce the time patients must wait for medical professionals to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new entrance will be closer to the parking lot, and the check-in area now has more space for visitors and patients to wait before being directed to treatment rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institute can provide patients with infusion therapy, medical oncology, nutritional counseling, social service support and clinical cancer trials. The hospital expects to start welcoming patients to the institute on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe opening of the expanded Cancer Institute at AHN Grove City represents a major step forward in our ability to provide comprehensive and cutting-edge cancer care to the region,\u201d David Bartlett, chair of the AHN Cancer Institute and president of the AHN Research Institute, said in the release. \u201cWe are incredibly grateful for the support of the Grove City Health Care Foundation and Buhl Regional Health Foundation, whose investments have made this vital resource a reality for our patients and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
