Former U.S. ambassador Nicholas F. Taubman and his wife, Jenny, have given $25 million toward a new building and expanded cancer program at Carilion Clinic. To honor the donors, the building will be named the Carilion Taubman Cancer Center. 

Carilion’s current facility on South Jefferson Street was built in 1980 and is operating beyond capacity. 

The new cancer center, now in the planning stages, will bring together personalized care, advanced technology and treatment options, clinical trials and research in a single location. The expanded facility is being designed to accommodate more patients and support the healing process, with natural light, outdoor spaces and expanded amenities. 

The building will be on the Riverside Campus in Roanoke that Carilion shares with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC. 

A $1 million seed gift in 2019 from Carilion CEO Nancy Howell Agee and her husband, The Honorable G. Steven Agee was the catalyst for the project. With the Taubman's gift, the campaign has raised more than $70 million to date.
