Banner Health and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center will jointly build the M.D. Anderson Banner Cancer Center in Phoenix. The 120,000 square-foot outpatient center will be adjacent to the Banner Gateway Medical Center campus.

Services will include medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, laboratory, and diagnostic imaging, as well as other supportive clinical services.

Groundbreaking is scheduled for later this year and the facility is set to open in late 2011. It will be modeled after M.D. Anderson’s Houston outpatient clinics, which feature areas devoted to single disease states. The project will be funded by Banner Health.
