A ceremonial groundbreaking in Lexington Thursday marked the start of what amounts to a one-stop-shop method of cancer care at the University of Kentucky. It comes with work beginning on the $781 million Cancer and Advanced Ambulatory Building.
The 550,000 square-foot-facility, being built across Limestone from UK Hospital, will become the new home to the Markey Cancer Center. The complex will bring outpatient clinics and oncology support services under one roof, instead of the current six areas. Cancer Center Director Mark Evers said the urgent care facility will also be a big plus for patients.
