Hematology-Oncology Associates breaks ground on Camillus cancer center

CAMILLUS — Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY (HOA) is building a 21,000-square-foot cancer center in Camillus. 

The new building will be located at 5490 Cobbler Way. HOA is tentatively planning to open the center in December 2024. 

HOA on May 8 held a groundbreaking ceremony for the cancer center at a vacant field just before 2555 Hambletonian Way in Camillus, but the address of the future building will be 5490 Cobbler Way.

The new cancer center’s design team includes Bennetts & Huysman Architects, P.C. of Manlius; St. Germain & Aupperle Consulting Engineers LLP of Camillus; RAM-TECH Engineers, P.C. of DeWitt; and Terry Horst, Landscape Architect, P.C. of Syracuse. Rich & Gardner Construction Company, Inc. will handle the construction process, HOA noted in a news release. HOA declined to provide a project-cost figure.

“Providing our patients with the best possible care includes a modern, spacious location where they can conveniently and cost-effectively receive all their cancer care, rather than traveling to different locations,” Maryann Roefaro, CEO of HOA, said. “We have outgrown our current Onondaga Hill location, which this new center will replace. Plus, we are excited to move our Wellness Center into this new location which offers more space and greater accessibility for our patients and members of the community.”

HOA also operates offices at 5008 Brittonfield Parkway in DeWitt and at 37 W. Garden St. in Auburn, per its website.

HOA says the new Camillus cancer center will offer services that include medical oncology care, including infusion services for cancer and other non-oncology needs; radiation oncology care; medical imaging; nutrition counseling for cancer patients; social-work services; clinical research; laboratory services; pharmacy services; and a wellness center offering holistic care and classes for cancer patients and the community.
