GenesisCare’s new cancer centre in Noosa is marking a milestone this week after the delivery of cancer treatment technology.
In the final stages of development, the new cancer centre is slated to open in mid-July this year bringing cancer care closer to home for the Noosa community.
GenesisCare general manager of Queensland, Steve Nguyen said, “GenesisCare is investing around $4.5 million into technology at the centre to support modern cancer treatment for patients in Noosa.”
“We are excited to mark this milestone as we draw closer to the opening, which will mark the establishment of GenesisCare’s third centre on the Sunshine Coast in 23 years.
“We look forward to welcoming the local Noosa and nearby communities and offering patients access to evidence-based and personalised approach to cancer care.
“Once established, the centre will have the capacity to treat 500 patients a year and offer access to radiation therapy, allied health services, and clinical trials for eligible patients.”
Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays or other particles to treat cancer and can be used at all stages. Radiation therapy can also be used to relieve pain and discomfort from cancer that has spread.
The new centre will be situated at 90 Goodchap Street, Noosaville (based at Noosa Medical and Professional Centre) and will be the closest cancer care centre to Noosa Hospital, located just 500 metres away.
A multimillion-dollar 700m² development project by Dexus, in partnership with GenesisCare and constructed by Erilyan, the new centre will comprise a purpose-built radiation therapy bunker and new medical fit-out complimented by 10 allocated parking bays.
