Seeking to bring high-quality health care closer to people east of Hartford, Hartford HealthCare this month opened a $10.4 million, 3-story building focused on delivering advanced cancer services and treatment while including the care of general and thoracic surgeons and urologists.

“We know that bringing comprehensive cancer services into the community allows us to do a better job caring for our patients, so we have been working to bring the most advanced oncology care possible to a new location east of the river,” Peter Yu, medical director of the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute said in a statement.

Located at 376 Tolland Turnpike in Manchester, the new facility is 37,581 square feet. Hartford HealthCare physicians will provide multi-specialty care in state-of-the-art facilities on the second floor. The third floor is dedicated to a 6,200-square foot Infusion Center that includes 15 private patient areas large enough for the patients to recline comfortably and have a friend or loved sitting beside them during treatment. Each patient area offers wifi and private television and there is an outdoor terrace for patients and family members to enjoy in the warmer weather.
