<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> Proton Beam Therapy Program<br />
<strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> has taken another step toward a new era in<br />
radiation treatment with the groundbreakings for proton beam<br />
therapy programs in Rochester and Arizona. The <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong><br />
Proton Beam Therapy Program in Rochester will be located<br />
in the Richard O. Jacobson Building, which broke ground<br />
in September. The facility in Phoenix broke ground in<br />
December. The first treatment room for patients will be<br />
available in 2015.<br />
At the Arizona groundbreaking, Phoenix <strong>Mayo</strong>r-elect<br />
Greg Stanton said: “The commitment by <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> to build<br />
this amazing new cancer treatment facility is exactly why our<br />
region must focus and redouble our commitment to health<br />
care and biosciences. This new therapy will not only save<br />
lives, it will create jobs and positive economic impact, and<br />
will continue the growth of the Phoenix area as a destination<br />
for health care delivery.”<br />
