FLORENCE, AL – On Monday, North Alabama Medical Center celebrated the third anniversary of its new facility with an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate its new Radiation Oncology and Medical Oncology Services. Guests were invited to tour the North Alabama Cancer Center facility and were guided through the latest technology found within the center by staff. "This truly is a celebration for our community today. A little more than a year ago, we stood here and broke ground on the beautiful facility now standing behind me," said Russell Pigg, Marketing President, and CEO. "Over the past year, we’ve been proud to serve our community through a pandemic and to be your home for emergency care, stroke care, critical care, interventional cardiology care, and much more. Today we are incredibly proud to now be able to say that we are your home for comprehensive cancer treatment services." During the event, guests were provided refreshments and encouraged to take guided tours of the new facility. Hospital staff showed guests from room to room, highlighting the center’s latest technology, including full-spectrum radiotherapy, a molecular lab, infusion center, chemotherapy treatment center, and onsite pharmacy services. "We are committed to giving our patients their best chance at remission, recovery, and long-term quality of life," said Stephen McNutt, North Alabama Cancer Center Director. "We will provide a wide range of cancer treatment and support services under one roof. The care will be personalized and more precise."
