Spectrum building new place of hope for cancer patients

According to excerpts from the story:

Spectrum Health donors and leadership broke ground in June 2005 for the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion at the Butterworth Campus. Located at the corner of Coit and Michigan, the six-story, 200,000-square-foot facility — with a projected cost of $78 million — is scheduled to open in Fall 2008 and will consolidate Spectrum Health’s cancer services and staff.

Radiation treatment, medical oncology, chemotherapy, research, cancer multispecialty clinics, a genetic evaluation clinic, research labs, physician offices, a consumer library and administrative offices are among the services that will be located there. The building will also house a multi-floor life-healing garden.

The new facility will be connected to the Butterworth Campus through a tunnel under Michigan Street. This will allow services at the Pavilion to be accessible to patients in the Lettinga Inpatient Cancer Unit and DeVos Children’s Hospital at the Butterworth Campus.
