Dale & Frances Hughes Cancer Center

A World-Class Cancer Treatment Center

The Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center is a stand-alone, 2-story, 60,000-sq. ft. cancer center on the Pocono Medical Center campus. The state-of-the-art facility is located in the former parking lot opposite the main entrance of the hospital.

The project included the complex construction of an enclosed bridge over East Brown Street, connecting the cancer center to the main hospital. The building contains diagnostic and radiation treatment on the first floor, including two linear accelerators, and office space and infusion therapy on the second floor. The building also contains a grand atrium, a conference room, offices, exam rooms and consultation spaces, an internet café, and a meditation room.

The environmentally sustainable project was designed to LEED Silver standards and included a green roof over the linear accelerator vault. The project also features extensive site work improvements including the construction of an elaborate healing garden and water feature.
