Kadean Construction, one of the fastest growing companies in the greater St. Louis region, has completed a $13.1 million expansion of the Siteman Cancer Center, a state-of-the-artoutpatient treatment facility at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital in suburban St. Louis, it was announced today.

The expansion, which was started in 2016, doubles the cancer treatment facility's size to 37,000 square feet, increases the number of medical oncology exam rooms from eight to 16, and nearly triples the number of chemotherapy infusion chairs to 32.

The additional square footage also enables the number of radiation oncology rooms to increase from four to seven, and for the addition of two more medical oncologists to the staff.

The Siteman Cancer Center, a national leader in cancer treatment, research, prevention, education and community outreach, is a partnership between Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the Washington University School of Medicine, both based in St. Louis. Siteman has four state-of-the-art facilities in the greater 
St. Louis area, including its treatment center at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital in St. Charles County.

“This has been a wonderful project for Kadean and our Healthcare construction group,” said Mike Eveler, president of Kadean Construction. “It is especially rewarding to know that our work will enable the medical staff at Siteman to treat more cancer patients in their home community.”

“Recognized among the best cancer centers in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Siteman Cancer Center offers highly advanced care,” said Timothy J. Eberlein, MD, Siteman’s director and the Spencer T. and Ann W. Olin Distinguished Professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. “Our patients deserve the best, and with additional Washington University physicians and new facilities, we can continue providing exceptional care closer to where patients live.”
