A local health system is making a major multi-million dollar investment in cancer care.
CaroMont Health says it plans to spend $200 million on expanded oncology care, which officials said is the second largest investment in the health system’s history. The investment will have three major components at CaroMont's Belmont and Gastonia locations.
In Gastonia, CaroMont will build a new 125,000-square-foot cancer center on the CaroMont Regional Medical Center campus. At the Belmont location, the system plans to open a new hematology and oncology physician office in the Medical Pavilion in June.
Additionally, the CaroMont Regional Medical Center will build a new radiation therapy center that will increase capacity by 30%. The investments will double the health systems oncology capacity to up to 3,000 cancer patients per year.
