Construction of the first phase of the new Mills Cancer and Rheumatology Center at Cass Regional Medical Center is now complete.

Infusion therapy capacity has expanded from five to seven bays. The new bays are more spacious, and each has windows featuring views of the hospital's Healing Garden. When the entire project is completed in mid-2023, there will be a total of 11 infusion chairs in the Mills Center.

"The new infusion center is beautiful and very nicely done," said oncologist/hematologist Jaswinder Singh, MD, who leads the cancer care team at Cass Regional. "It offers compassionate treatment close to home, with care that is comparable to any academic medical center."

"It is a beautiful addition to an already top-notch facility," agreed rheumatologist Kevin Latinis, MD, PhD. "The design with large windows overlooking the gardens makes the experience of getting infusions for rheumatic disorders and cancer therapy a bit more cheerful."

What comes next?

Construction of the Mills Cancer and Rheumatology Center began in March of this year and was made possible in part by a donation from Harrisonville businessman Bill Mills. The next phase of construction will involve renovating the former infusion space, which will become the new waiting area.
"The Cass County community has a lot to be proud of with this facility, and we are looking forward to the next stages of enhancement of the rheumatology and oncology clinics," Latinis added.

The entire project is scheduled for completion in mid-2023.
