Designed in a unique partnership between Boulder Community Hospital and Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, the new center is known as The Tebo Family Medical Pavilion and is located on the Boulder Community Foothills Hospital campus.
“This new facility will provide patients with the latest treatment options,” said John Fleagle, M.D., medical oncologist with Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers. “It integrates medical oncology, radiation oncology, diagnostic imaging and support services under one roof here in the community of Boulder. Having all these services in one facility is a tremendous benefit to our patients.”
“Boulder Community Hospital’s primary mission is to provide area citizens with local access to a comprehensive range of treatment options,” said Margaret Van Cleave, Chief Operating Officer of Boulder Community Foothills Hospital. “The opening of the Tebo Pavilion has definitely improved access to first-rate cancer services for our community.”
The Tebo Family Medical Pavilion began serving patients on July 9. It houses the latest in specialty imaging and radiation oncology services, such as PET/CT imaging, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). In addition, the Tebo Pavilion houses a Center for Integrative Care, an array of complementary therapies that aid healing and recovery. The center includes massage therapy and acupuncture rooms, a small meditation garden, and access to support groups and counseling services.
“It’s been a privilege to work with Boulder Community Hospital on this project,” said Jeffrey R. Poe, Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers. “We are excited about combining our considerable expertise into one facility to better serve this community.”
A community open house will be held Sunday, July 29, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend.
