Located on the campus of Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, the new Cancer Center occupies an 18,000 square-foot facility previously held by Orlando Health Physician Associates. Patients will have access to full-service cancer treatment with expanded chemotherapy and radiation treatment areas, medical oncology services, surgical oncology consultations, oncologic pharmacy services, laboratory facilities, and Cancer Support Community programs.

"Our new, expanded cancer center will allow our patients to receive the same high level of care they are accustomed to from our downtown campus in their own backyard."

The new Cancer Center celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Orlando Health leadership, physicians and team members, as well as Dr. Phillips-area business and community leaders.
