SARASOTA, Fla. – Sarasota Memorial is moving ahead with plans to develop a comprehensive cancer center, a premier facility that will offer services across the entire continuum of cancer care, from prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment, to follow-up care, survivorship and support.
The Sarasota County Public Hospital Board approved the first phase of facility planning in October, allocating up to $4 million to begin design of the full-service “destination” cancer center on its main Sarasota, Florida campus.
When complete in 3-4 years, the cancer center will offer specialty programs for breast, GYN, GI/colorectal and lung cancers, as well as prostate/GU, neuro-oncology, melanoma and hematologic subspecialties. Multi-disciplinary services will include medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, imaging and diagnostics, physician clinics and patient support services.
