With its distinctive blue glass walls and three-story atrium, the $78 million cancer center opening today at Allegheny General Hospital has already made its mark on Pittsburgh’s North Side.
Now the health system’s leaders hope the center between the hospital’s South Tower and Sandusky Street garage will attract not just cancer patients but also oncology professionals who might join Allegheny Health Network’s cancer care program.
“There was a strong foundation of cancer care at the Allegheny Health Network but what we believed was that further investment would take it to a whole new level,” says David Holmberg, president and CEO of Highmark Health, the hospital system’s parent organization.
