1/22/2025

Kirksville, MO — Northeast Regional Medical Center is moving forward with plans to enhance its services by reintroducing radiation oncology to the community. A groundbreaking ceremony is planned on February 12 at 3 p.m.

This initiative will include the establishment of a cancer treatment center, operated as a department of Northeast Regional Medical Center.

The new facility aims to improve access to cancer care for local residents, reducing the need for travel to distant treatment centers. Patients will benefit from having testing, scanning, and marker placement conducted at the Northeast Regional Medical Center’s existing medical imaging department. The center has also invested in new technology, including an upgraded MRI unit and enhanced CT software.

Northeast Regional Medical Center is committed to developing a facility that meets the healthcare needs of the Kirksville community. The center is expected to be operational by summer 2025.
