David Walsh Cancer Center Opens This Week

On Thursday, cancer patients here will not have to drive to Denver for treatment. The Denver Post reports that the David Walsh Cancer Center on the Sterling Regional MedCenter campus will open, bringing treatment close to home. Walsh died of esophageal cancer in 1998 and his parents Frank and Gloria Walsh worked to bring treatment home for future patients. The center is 86 hundred square feet and is a nearly nine million dollar state of the art center that will have radiation oncology, chemotherapy and infusion services, a tumor registry, a physician's clinic and a patient education center. Officials in here say the center will draw companies and new residents to the area.
