They expect to open the cancer center between KRMC and Yanney Heritage Park in 2025. It will provide radiation and medical oncology, infusion and chemotherapy services, a linear accelerator, and CT and PET imaging.

“This has been many years in the making,” says Bill Calhoun, CEO of KRMC. “We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve found the right partner in Cancer Partners of Nebraska.”

“Having recently joined the Bryan Health system ourselves, we’ve watched the April Sampson Cancer Center project take shape with Bryan and Cancer Partners of Nebraska,” Calhoun continues. “This model truly embodies our core values: trust in local management and improved access to the highest quality care.”

As like-minded health care organizations, Cancer Partners of Nebraska and KRMC are committed to bringing greater benefit to communities they serve.

Cancer Partners of Nebraska Executive Director Justin Rousek adds, “By opening this Kearney-based cancer center, we can decrease travel time for patients in central and western Nebraska, allowing them more time to focus on treatment and recovery close to home.” n
