McKay-Dee Hospital reopens cancer center
On Thursday, patients and Intermountain Health employees celebrated the grand reopening of the Ogden’s McKay-Dee Hospital’s remodeled cancer center. The project was the largest renovation the hospital has undergone since its opening in 2002. The Intermountain Health Cancer Center is on the first floor of the hospital, making it easy to access for cancer patients.
The new center includes, easy to reach power outlets, comfortable chairs and a welcoming room with artwork and sunlight. Hospital officials said the center was built to create a healing environment, while also providing needed care.
The number of infusion bays have increased from eight to 12, and chemotherapy infusion bays have increased from 16 to 24. Also, a new linear accelerator has been added and a compounding pharmacy is now adjacent to the infusion bays.
Construction starts on 2100 South in Sugar House

According to officials, the existing four-lane section will decrease to a three-lane section between 900 East and 110 East, and it will open back up to a four-lane section between 1100 East and 1300 East. Medians and limited left turn lanes will also be added.
