New
Cancer Center Expands Rural Health Care Services
"This joint venture brings the expertise and resources of a tertiary center to a community hospital," said Ken Finch, President and CEO, Metroplex Adventist Health System. "This facility will bring state-of-the-art cancer treatment services to the people of our community and the surrounding area of Central Texas." The Cancer Center, designed by the Austin-based architecture/engineering firm O'Connell Robertson & Associates, comprises the first floor of a 3-story, 48,000 SF medical facility adjacent to the main entrance of Metroplex Hospital in Killeen. The patient treatment areas include 14 chemotherapy stations, a dual-energy linear accelerator and simulator, 8 exam rooms and a patient education area. Support functions include a pharmacy, physician offices, radiation therapy, technical areas and a conference room. The chemotherapy treatment areas feature large expanses of shaded glass, and natural light enhances interior colors that create an environment supportive of healing. The Center connects with the main floor of the hospital to facilitate access to existing hospital services for patients and family. O'Connell Robertson & Associates, Inc. is an architecture/engineering firm which has been designing and planning facilities in Austin and around Texas for over 50 years. Project experience includes healthcare, education, commercial, industrial and government facilities. See more views of this project on our Healthcare Projects page.
