The Ireland Cancer Center consistently ranks among the top 25 cancer hospitals in the U.S., holding the National Cancer Institute’s highest distinction as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. With that in mind, UH is investing in the future of cancer treatment and research by building a new, free-standing cancer hospital to bring all facets of cancer care under one roof. The new Cancer Hospital, equipped with 150 patient beds, will combine the best technologies, the most effective protocols and the latest findings for cancer care in one 375,000-square-foot, free-standing facility.
