McCarthy Building Companies-Omaha joined Nebraska Medicine and the University of Nebraska-Kearney in celebrating the beginning of construction for Nebraska Medicine’s Kearney Cancer Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
The celebration of construction was commenced by Nebraska Medicine chief executive officer James Linder on June 27.
The $33 million, 53,000-square-foot building will be a two-story outpatient medical facility specializing in cancer care that will include one Linear Accelerator with another shell for a Linear Accelerator, multiple exam rooms, and an infusion space. This will allow Nebraska Medicine to offer the services of medical and radiation oncology, infusion, laboratory and pharmacy services, survivorship programs, genetics counseling, and a healing garden.
The new cancer center is situated just off U.S. Highway 30, as part of the newly developing University Village. When complete, the village will be a mixed-use, pedestrian friendly are that will provide educational, residential, recreational, and commercial opportunities to the community of Kearney.
The Nebraska Medicine Kearney Cancer Center is expected to be completed and will welcome its first patients in December 2024. PACT Studios is the architect for this project.
