1/19/14 - Ground was broken on a new cancer center for the Chelsea Community Hospital last week. A ceremony to dedicate the new facility was held on Thursday. According to the Chelsea Standard, some guests were delayed by the weather, but the speakers said this only highlighted the need for improved cancer treatment options to be located near residents. The hospital expanded its cancer services to include infusion and chemotherapy in 2010. The new facility will nearly double the hospitalâs capacity for those services, as well as install a linear accelerator and CT stimulator for radiation treatment. The 15,000-square-foot cancer center is being built with the help of a $6 million fundraising campaign. It is expected to be finished by the end of the year. (TD)
