“The Provision Proton Center in Orlando will be our third center in the southeastern U.S., as Provision Healthcare continues to pursue our mission to make advanced cancer care and proton therapy more accessible by developing joint venture proton centers and cancer centers in the U.S., China, and around the world,” said Dr. Terry Douglass, Chairman and CEO of Provision Healthcare.
Hamlin’s proton therapy treatment center will be a three-treatment room center and will utilize the latest proton systems technology of ProNova Solutions, LLC, which is an affiliate of Provision. It is projected that approximately 1,000 patients per year can be treated at the proton center. The parties plan to develop other medical office buildings and associated facilities on the campus to provide additional complementary cancer services at Hamlin.
“There are currently less than 25 proton therapy centers operating in the United States. The Hamlin proton center will be a great addition to the medical community and a real benefit to the residents of central Florida,” said Scott Boyd, President of Boyd Development. “We look forward to Provision bringing their state of the art technology, along with their Culture of Care, to our central Florida community.”
