Northwestern Medicine plans to use a whopping $225 million donation to help build a new medical office building for cancer care in Orland Park. The facility would be the latest entry into a race among Chicago area health systems to expand their cancer offerings to meet growing demand for the care – due to an aging population and advances that have led to people living longer after a diagnosis. The new facility would sit on the Northwestern Medicine Orland Park campus, which is already home to Northwestern’s St. George Cancer Institute, according to an application for the project filed with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board. The idea behind the new facility is to help Northwestern meet current and future demand for cancer care in the South suburbs, Northwestern wrote in the application.
