The five-story Carol G. Simon Cancer Center brings adult outpatient cancer treatment and support services together in one convenient and attractive setting. The Cancer Center includes three high-performance linear accelerators, the hospital’s high-dose brachytherapy program, expanded chemotherapy and Apheresis services, inpatient surgical suites, physician offices, a Breast Center, Men’s Cancer Center, Oncology Research, and a radiation therapy area that looks out into a unique sunken garden.
The project includes 130,900 square feet of new construction for the Cancer Center, two operating rooms, and cardiac and surgical recovery areas. A 10,300 square foot renovation of adjacent space provided four additional operating rooms. In the beginning of 2006, 11,000 SF of Level 2 was renovated for the Hematology and Oncology Associates of Northern N.J.
