Atchison County Commissioners, according to a social media post from Atchison County, plan to attend the ceremony for Amberwell Health's new West Addition on Wednesday afternoon, November 4, at 1:00.
The project is part of a previously announced clinical collaboration between Amberwell Health and Mosaic Life Care to establish Amberwell Cancer Care, offering chemotherapy, infusion therapy and onsite oncology appointments in Atchison for the first time.
The two health systems announced earlier that the program is expected to begin serving patients by early 2028.
The new two-story, 20,000-square-foot addition will also expand rehabilitation services and provide additional specialty clinic space, with the building scheduled to open in 2027.
Under the agreement, Amberwell Atchison will own and operate the cancer care program, while Mosaic Life Care will provide oncology physicians and clinical direction.
Clinical oversight will be provided by Mosaic Medical Director of Oncology Dr. Rony Abou-Jawde, who has served the region for more than 20 years, and Dr. Vinay Gupta, who currently provides onsite infusion care in Atchison.
The expansion is also the focus of Building Hope, a $2 million capital campaign to support construction and equipment, including a $1 million matching gift.
