Chicago-based Cancer Treatment Center to Bring 225 Jobs to City By: CRA News Service

Cancer Treatment Centers of America is moving its national headquarters to Boca Raton from suburban Chicago, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned. The Schaumburg, Ill.-based company is expected to employ some 225 people. “We are excited to have Cancer Treatment Centers of America become part of our community,” Mayor Susan Whelchel said. Information on how many employees would relocate was not given. CTCA has yet to choose an exact location in Boca Raton, and no date has been given for when the company will move. The five-hospital national network has facilities in Goodyear, Ariz.; Newnan, Ga.; Philadelphia; Tulsa; and Zion, Ill. A recent Modern Healthcare investigation found that three of these facilities were among the nation’s leaders in receiving Medicare supplemental “outlier” payments that are based on hospital retail prices as opposed to standard Medicare payments. see page 4
