This week, Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs broke ground on its new cancer center. This is the old building that's coming down -- it is the remaining portion of the original hospital building built in 1954.
The new Calaway & Young Cancer Center is scheduled to open in mid-2012. It'll include nearly 30,000 square feet of dedicated space for cancer treatment.
Valley View Hospital has been treating cancer for years, but this new space will allow patients in the Roaring Fork Valley to receive radiation treatment locally. Before, they had to drive to Grand Junction or Edwards for treatment weekly, even daily at times.
