Highlands Oncology broke ground on a new cancer center in Rogers, aiming to address the growing demand for specialized care in Northwest Arkansas as the region’s population continues to expand.

Comprehensive Care

The center will offer cancer treatment, testing, research, and support services all in one location. Dr. Dan Bradford, retired lead physician at Highlands Oncology, stated that the goal was to have one place where cancer patients and their families could have all their needs met.

Highlands Oncology leaders emphasized the challenges patients currently face, with many forced to travel hours away for care while battling cancer. Thaddeus Beck, president and director of research at Highlands Oncology, noted that the new facility is expected to open in Rogers in about 18 months.
