University Hospitals (UH) is committing $39 million to develop a regional cancer hub at UH TriPoint Medical Center in Concord Township, Ohio, expanding access to specialized cancer treatments that were previously available only at the system’s downtown location.
The new hub is part of UH's ongoing effort to decentralize cancer care, following similar expansions at UH Avon and UH Minoff health centers. It will be housed in the UH TriPoint Physician Pavilion, which will undergo renovations and expansion to accommodate the new services. Construction is set to begin this spring, with an expected opening in fall 2026.
The facility will consolidate cancer services, including medical and radiation oncology, infusion therapy, supportive care, and pharmacy services. It will also bring academic subspecialists in surgical, medical, and radiation oncology to the region and expand access to clinical trials previously limited to UH Cleveland Medical Center.
“We are making this investment for the sake of our patients to ensure they receive the highest standard of cancer care close to home, rather than having to travel downtown or to multiple locations,” said Dr. Robyn Strosaker, president and chief operating officer of UH Lake Health Medical Centers.
UH is also reconfiguring cancer services at other locations. Later this year, oncology care will shift from UH Conneaut Medical Center to UH Geneva Medical Center, while cancer services at UH Mentor Health Center will move to UH TriPoint. The Mentor facility will be repurposed for other medical services.
Additionally, UH Minoff Health Center will expand its infusion center and add medical office space.
“This change allows us to improve coordination of care for patients undergoing cancer treatment, and further integrate research and clinical expertise to advance cancer care in the region,” said Dr. Ted Teknos, president and scientific director of UH Seidman Cancer Center. “We made this decision with patient safety and outcomes as the priority.”
