The following information is from the City of Wheeling’s Facebook page:

“City officials were proud to join WVU Medicine leadership this morning for the unveiling of renderings for the new WVU Regional Cancer Center, located at the site of the former Ohio Valley Medical Center in Centre Wheeling.

“This transformative $122.6 million project will create a four-story, 127,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art outpatient facility affiliated with the WVU Cancer Institute. The new center will consolidate cancer services from both Wheeling and Reynolds hospitals and will offer infusion therapy, radiation oncology, imaging, laboratory services, specialty clinics and dedicated space for future expansion.”
