Mercy Opens New Imaging, Cancer Centers in Sacramento

Last week, Mercy Sacramento officially opened the new Mercy Cancer Center and Mercy Imaging Center in east Sacramento to provide patients with oncology diagnostic imaging and treatment services in one central location. The centers -- which together cost $20 million and were built adjacent to each other -- also provide outpatient services such as radiation and other therapies. The imaging center began accepting new patients last month, and the cancer center is expected to be fully operational this month.
