Kirksville Cancer Treatment Facility

Kirksville, Missouri

The Kirksville Cancer Treatment Facility is a state-of-the-art radiation oncology center under development in Kirksville, Missouri, designed to address a critical regional gap in cancer care by providing advanced radiation treatment locally. The $30 million project, situated on approximately 170 acres on East Illinois Street, will feature cutting-edge equipment, including a new linear accelerator, and is the result of a collaborative effort between healthcare professionals, architects, and engineers. Its development is significant for the community, which has lacked local radiation oncology services for nearly three years, forcing residents to travel long distances for treatment. Construction is advancing, with site logistics and access planning underway, road construction started, and an official groundbreaking scheduled for early December 2024, with the center expected to open for patients by 2027.
