Community Cancer Center North Opens

DALLAS, Texas – Community Health Network’s Community Cancer Center North in Indianapolis, Indiana recently opened to the public. The facility, designed by CallisonRTKL and built by Meyer-Najem, was created to meet the growing demand for cancer care in central Indiana.

Within the three-story, 104,000-square-foot cancer center, adult cancer diagnoses are treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, oral chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The center includes a full-service radiation therapy department that offers stereotactic radiotherapy and IMRT for targeted radiation treatment. As the potential for infusion services wane, infusion and clinic spaces as silo departments are eliminated, and private infusion bays are converted back to exam rooms providing long-term flexibility for Community Cancer Center North. The center is also connected to Community Hospital North via a sky bridge for additional resources and convenient access for inpatients.

The new cancer center includes spaces for support groups, physical therapy, art and music therapy, tai chi, massage and exercise within the facility to help patients and their families relieve stress and anxiety. An onsite boutique with fitting services for camisoles, wigs, headwear and breast forms/prosthesis/bras provides support for patients and satisfies their retail needs.
