Leading Cancer Hospital Completes Repurposing of Office Building
Continuing its expansion into New Jersey, Memorial Sloan Kettering on Monday unveiled its $185 million outpatient cancer treatment center in Montvale, NJ, a facility created by the redevelopment of a former corporate office campus.
MSK Bergen, located at 225 Summit Ave., is the third owned-and-operated satellite location that New York City-based Memorial Sloan Kettering has in New Jersey, with its others in Somerset and Monmouth counties.
The hospital’s new center, totaling more than 110,000 square feet, is on the site of an office building and land that the hospital acquired for $37 million three years ago from Chambers Street Properties.
Most of the ground floor and part of the second floor of the original office building was renovated and has space for MSK Bergen to expand into, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The building’s prior tenants have included Toys R Us and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc.
MSK Bergen will have 190 clinical and administrative staff members, more than 35 doctors dedicated to cancer treatment, 28 exam rooms, 18 infusion bays, three treatment rooms for outpatient procedures and two linear accelerators to provide radiation therapy. The two-story center also has a 500-space parking lot, with valet service available.
MSK Bergen will offer services dealing with nearly every kind of cancer care, including chemotherapy and medical oncology, radiation therapy, radiology and imaging services, surgical consultations and pre-surgery testing, neurology, screening services, personalized medicine, access to clinical trials, genetic testing, support counseling and follow-up care.
The center's design and layout was meant to accommodate patients undergoing radiation therapy and chemotherapy, which require multiple visits, according to the hospital. Among those are seating for caregivers and guests, "chair-side technology" allowing patients to control the room’s temperature and lighting, as well as access the internet, cable television and videos for meditation and breathing.
