The project included enhancements to the radiation treatment planning system and creation of a dedicated oncology electronic medical record.<br \/>\nThe renovation and expansion also added an exam room and created a new changing area for patients, central waiting space, a new nursing station, new conference room, and offices for physicians, a social worker, and chief radiation therapist.<br \/>\nThe upgrades underscore the Radiation Oncology Center\u2019s recognition that excellent cancer care addresses the entire patient experience, officials said.<br \/>\n\u201cEverything we do reflects our understanding of how the right care team\u2014and the right environment\u2014can make a difference to the cancer patients we are caring for,\u201d Russell said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cancer patients in the Saratoga region are benefiting from a $6 million renovation and expansion\u2014including a second linear accelerator\u2014at Saratoga Hospital\u2019s Mollie Wilmot Radiation Oncology Center.
