Harris Health is expanding access to advanced cancer care with a new freestanding comprehensive cancer center planned for the John M. O'Quinn Hospital campus that is under construction in Northeast Houston. The Harris Health Board of Trustees approved moving forward with the design and construction of a four-story, 125,000-square-foot facility on the campus.
The center is planned to open in 2029, following the opening of the new O'Quinn Hospital along the North Loop at Lockwood. The center will serve patients across Harris County, including residents of Northeast Houston communities such as Fifth Ward, Settegast and Kashmere Gardens.
The center is designed to make cancer care more convenient and accessible for patients and families by housing a broad range of treatment, diagnostic and support services under one roof. The planned center will include two new linear accelerators and expansion of a third vault; a brachytherapy suite and CT simulator; an infusion center with up to 50 stations; a nuclear medicine suite with PET/CT; two floors of outpatient clinics; physician offices and patient support spaces; and adjacent patient parking with a covered entrance.
The new building is projected to cost $150 million, including construction, major medical equipment, information technology, furnishings, professional services and contingency.
