UNC Health Blue Ridge Celebrates Opening of Cancer Center

The $38 million Cancer Center at UNC Health Blue Ridge Valdese held its grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting yesterday.

The cancer and infusion center will be housed in a new 34,272-square-foot addition that features new infusion therapy and treatment areas with private and open space, radiation and chemotherapy exam rooms, consultation areas, and treatment spaces. Equipment includes two new Linear Accelerators, CT Simulator, and Superficial X-ray.

“We’re grateful that we were part of the team that built this new cancer center,” said Brasfield & Gorrie Regional Vice President and Division Manager Michael Byrd. “The team at UNC Health Blue Ridge Valdese is actively working to serve their community, and it’s humbling to lend our construction expertise to make that possible.”

The design firm on the project was DLR Group. Learn more in a press release from UNC Health Blue Ridge.
