The 80-million dollar Mitchell cancer center institute is slated for a grand opening in November. High ceilings and large windows allow sunlight to flood its wide open hallways.

On the ground floor you'll find the latest in cancer treatment technology. A Cyber-Knife is still under construction. The computer controlled particle accelerator will allow doctors to zap tumors that may be near delicate, vital organs.

“Literally enables the physician to plan a treatment to shoot and destroy tumors in the lung that are moving with respiration or tumors of the pancreas,” says Boyd.

The center is slated for a grand opening on November 3rd.
