December Luncheon
The Intersection of Love & Science
Business/Civic Leaders Fuel Rise of the St. Elizabeth Cancer Center
The excitement and exhilaration of the opening of the new state of the art $140 million St. Elizabeth Cancer Center in early October may have only be eclipsed by the stories of generosity of not just successful business leaders but everyday people to help make the project a reality. And the opening of the Center will mean big business for this region in terms of the sought-after medical talent which previously might not have considered relocating here as well as new vendor companies sprouting up. St. Elizabeth is the fourth biggest employer now in the Greater Cincinnati market.
With the ability to treat nearly 500 patients a day, the Center will become a destination for suffering patients across Kentucky and for that matter the Midwest and Southeastern United States. The need alone in Kentucky is staggering as the Commonwealth leads the nation in lung cancer cases and deaths and colorectal cancer cases.
The St. Elizabeth Cancer Center offers cancer detection, diagnosis and care – all under one roof. With an emphasis on precision medicine and genomic health, screening education and prevention, clinical research and advanced, innovative technology, St. Elizabeth will provide a seamless experience for patients undergoing treatment. St. Elizabeth is also a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, consulting with Mayo Clinic cancer specialists and providing patients access to the Clinic Care Network.
