Update & Planned Openings

Thanks to the support of many – from our over 500 individual and corporate donors, to Valley Girls & Guys, to our providers and caregivers, oncology leaders, entire senior leadership team, and our Board of Trustees – we are thrilled to announce construction of the initial phase (Phase 1A) of the new Cancer Center has begun!

“We are witnessing the dawning of a new era in patient care and experience, coming soon for oncology patients in South King County,” shared Jeannine Erickson Grinnell, CEO of Valley Medical Center, at a recent event. Unfortunately, cancer is the leading cause of illness in our community. In addition, much of the population growth happening in our region is happening in Southeast King County, creating a much greater need for cancer services and significant challenges for patients trying to access cancer care close to home. Valley’s new comprehensive Cancer Center will house a $60M state-of-the-art facility and expand access to services that our community needs right here in their backyard.

Patients and families across South King County deserve access to comprehensive cancer care without having to add a lengthy and stressful commute to Seattle or Tacoma. They deserve expanded and accessible treatment options, clinical services, and support resources. And they deserve a sanctuary of hope, help, and healing that is truly coordinated.

Phase 1A will provide a better, more efficient care experience, and innovative treatment in a healing environment. Located on the 3rd floor of our new East Pavilion, this initial phase, once completed, will house a 41-bay infusion center including 9 private and semi-private rooms and 3 fast-track treatment chairs, infusion pharmacy, reception area, symptom management services, and the Trapper and Samantha Wellbeing Resource Center. Phase 1A will be completed in early 2025!

“I didn’t have to die to find out how many people love me.” About her care at Valley, Debbie emphasizes, “I didn’t know that there are that many caring people in one place. It’s been a hard journey, but they made it a lot easier.” - Debbie, Valley Cancer Patient (Hear more about Debbie's story)

“For those who will get care in the new Cancer Center, it will be wonderful for families to know exactly where they are going each time because it’s all there in one place. When you can say in a heartbeat, ‘That’s where I’ll take my family,’ you know Valley is doing everything right – they’re treating you well for your health, but also treating you well. Everyone deserves healthcare like this.” - Sandra, Valley Cancer Patient  

Throughout his treatment, Patrick saw the future home of Valley’s new integrated Cancer Center take shape from the ground up. “I would encourage people to support the new Cancer Center – you’re investing in saving the lives of the people who are your neighbors and uncles, cousins, and friends.”
-Patrick, Valley Cancer Patient

Join the Campaign for Valley's New Cancer Center!

Fundraising is continuing, focused on the remaining $45M needed to complete phases 1B and 2. Phase 1B includes the remaining portions of floor 3 that will house the new Oncology and Hematology Clinic and Multidisciplinary Clinic for patient/care team conferences and treatment planning. It will also include a café space designed for loved ones to enjoy food, coffee, and respite. Phase 2 will focus on the 1st floor and house Radiation Therapy and oncology imaging. Every donor and every dollar raised brings us closer to our goal of opening the doors to this comprehensive Cancer Center for our community.

Our campaign for the new Cancer Center builds on Valley’s financial strength, legacy of trust within the community, and reputation for delivering compassionate care. Our community takes tremendous pride in having an excellent hospital close to home that provides exceptional services to address any medical need. Cancer is the leading cause of illness within our public hospital district, so consolidating and expanding cancer services is critical.
