Richardson TX becomes New Cancer Hub

People will no longer have to travel upwards of 5 hours to Houston for excellent Cancer care.

Back in 2004, the Richardson Regional Medical Center opened a satellite campus (this is where my OB is as it's about 1/2 mile from my house). To go along with the 5 story, 100,000 sqft building, the city has just broken ground for two new additions.

The first will be a 50,000 sqft Comprehensive Cancer Center. The second will be a 47,000 sqft Outpatient Hospital. Construction is expected to be completed by the Fall of 2008.

I think this will be great, not just for the area, but also for my business. Can you imagine how many doctors will be relocating to the general or immediate area?! Currently, according to recent numbers, there are about 200,000 people that live within a 5 mile radius of this area.
