Freytag Cancer Center Opens in Palm Coast
The Freytag Cancer Center at AdventHealth Palm Coast has officially opened, according to a media release/. The facility was made possible by many donors, including Palm Coast residents Peter and Sue Freytag.
“The Freytag Cancer Center represents more than just a building; it is an investment in our community and a commitment to providing world-class care with excellence and compassion,” said Audrey Gregory, executive vice president and CEO for AdventHealth East Florida Division, in the release. “
Based in Altamonte Springs, AdventHealth is the only national non-profit health care system headquartered in Florida. With almost 100,000 team members, it’s among the largest faith-based systems in the U.S., spanning over 50 hospitals across nearly a dozen states, the release states.
The facility is a two-story, 30,000-square-foot facility designed by Orlando-based HuntonBrady and built by Robins & Morton and houses comprehensive cancer treatment services, including radiation oncology and medical oncology, alongside primary care physician offices.
This $30 million investment in the community offers treatment options such as precision medicine, immunotherapy, and personalized treatments based on each patient’s genetic makeup.
According to the release, the facility was in part made possible by donations through the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation and its donors, including their HOPE wall donors and the 20/20 Society, a dedicated group of community supporters who have worked tirelessly to raise $4 million for this project.
The Freytag Cancer Center also features the relocated Judith C. Macko Cancer Resource Center, providing free resources and support to patients and their families.
“As a physician, I see the difference it makes when patients feel heard and valued,” said AdventHealth radiation oncologist Dr. Irfan Ahmed, in the release. “One patient told me that knowing she could receive top-notch care close to home gave her the strength to face her diagnosis head-on. That’s the impact of this center and why we are here – not just to fight cancer, but to walk alongside our patients every step of the way.”
