"These digital renderings of the planned Cancer Center by Allegheny Health Network show what the facility is expected to look like."

High winds forced the cancellation of a groundbreaking ceremony for the Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute — Butler, but construction of the state-of-the-art facility is under way at 160 Hollywood Drive in the Pullman Center Business Park.

The 34,000-square-foot, two-story facility scheduled to open early next year is part of $225 million investment by AHN and Highmark Health that includes an academic cancer center at Allegheny General Hospital and two other new community cancer treatment cents in Beaver and Monroeville.

“We're going to provide radiation oncology, medical oncology, chemotherapy, biologic therapy and immunotherapy,” said Dr. David Parda, AHN Cancer Institute chairman.
