New Radiation Oncology Clinic Opens in Westerville

Key Takeaways:

• OhioHealth has opened a new $17 million radiation oncology clinic in Westerville, expanding local access to cancer treatment with an 11,000‑square‑foot facility and state‑of‑the‑art technology.
• The center features a new linear accelerator, a dedicated radiation oncology CT, and a mobile PET/CT pad, enabling highly customized treatment plans developed by radiation oncologists, dosimetrists, and medical physicists.
• Patient and community safety is a core focus, supported by real‑time monitoring systems and heavily reinforced concrete walls—requiring roughly 500 yards of concrete—to ensure safe delivery of daily radiation treatments close to home

Cancer patients who live in and near Westerville have a new treatment option available right in their community.  As of June 28, an 11,000 square foot, one-story building addition at the OhioHealth Westerville Medical Campus brings a brand new radiation oncology clinic.

The $17 million investment in the community includes:

• A linear accelerator (LINAC), which uses high energy x-rays and electrons that are customized to each patient’s cancer. It works to destroy the cancer cells, while sparing normal tissue. Radiation oncologists work with a dosimetrist and medical physicists to develop a highly customized treatment plan for each patient.
• A dedicated radiation oncology CT machine.
• A mobile PET/CT pad.

Construction on the addition began in May 2025. 

“Patients receiving radiation as part of their cancer treatment are typically treated Monday through Friday, sometimes for several weeks,” said Andrew Freeman, MD, chief of radiation oncology at OhioHealth. “OhioHealth’s goal is to keep quality care close to home which is why we continue to make these investments in local communities like Westerville.

Safety is the top priority for patients and staff, as well as those in and around the facility. Safety measures, such as a real-time audio/visual system to monitor patients during their treatment and constructed concrete walls up to 7’ ¼” thick help to ensure safety.  Fun fact: the entire pour was roughly 500 yards of concrete, which is equal to roughly 50 concrete trucks!
