Preliminary site and design plans for a pair of outpatient oncology facilities being built by the Sarasota Memorial Health Care System are set to move forward following approval from the Sarasota County Public Hospital Board.

One building, a six-story 150,000-square-foot cancer outpatient pavilion, will be an addition to the Sarasota main campus. The other building, a two-story, 50,000-square-foot cancer center, will be added to the Venice campus. This is the next step of expanding the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute, which is a comprehensive cancer program SMH began working on in 2018, according to a statement. The program is designed to provide the latest treatments, technologies, support services and clinical trials.
