ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Swedish Medical Center has unveiled plans for a new cancer pavilion.
The new Englewood facility will bring together the Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Swedish Medical Center’s oncology offerings into one full-service, updated space, said the hospital’s operator HealthOne.
The Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Swedish Medical Center will break ground on the new cancer pavilion this month.
The hospital said it plans to connect two of its East Hampden Avenue medical office buildings, filling them exclusively with oncology providers and support services.
HealthOne said the 701 and 799 buildings will be dedicated and redesigned as the cancer pavilion, while the 601 and 499 buildings will accommodate many of the hospital’s non-oncology providers. The cancer pavilion also will be renovated with a grand entryway, redesigned landscaping and outdoor spaces, as well as space for patient wellness.
“At Swedish, we are committed to improving more lives in more ways,” said Ryan Tobin, president and chief executive officer of Swedish Medical Center. “This effort brings together all of the components we have already built in our fight against cancer into a singular, dedicated space. The pavilion will streamline and enhance the patient experience, making access to care more convenient and allow for even more collaboration with our providers.”
