Wise Construction, Dartmouth Health, and our project partners recently gathered to celebrate the progress of the Dartmouth Cancer Center’s Radiation Oncology Expansion in Manchester, NH.
Dr. Pamela M. Hofley, Medical Director of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Manchester, emphasized the importance of bringing radiation oncology services to New Hampshire’s southern region, noting that this expansion will provide “much more coordinated care to our patients.”
The shared excitement was clear. Dr. Steven Leach, Director of Dartmouth Cancer Center, remarked, “Today is all about partnership. These are the bricks and mortar that will bring people together in ways we haven’t seen before.”
With over 7,000 SF of new medical space—including medical/exam rooms, a nurse station, equipment/storage rooms, a new CT, and a new linear accelerator (LINAC) vault—the expansion is set to transform cancer care access for the community. The complexity of enclosing a linear accelerator, paired with an active ambulatory setting, means our team is balancing detailed, safety-focused construction techniques with patient-centered scheduling.
