Edgardo Rivera Audio:  “It’s very exciting, the fact that you’re building something from the ground up in an area that there was a need to have a comprehensive cancer center, but also to be able to offer these type of services to the oncology patients in this area.”

Narration:  “Under MD Anderson clinical leadership, the standard of clinical care at the new facility will mirror services provided in Houston with identical protocols and practice standards and similar equipment capabilities.

For patient convenience, all services are located on a single campus.”
