Prisma Health is building the Larry Winn, M.D. Cancer Care Unit at Baptist Easley Hospital. The $1.9 million project will deliver infusion capability and supportive care for Pickens County.
The project is both a renovation and addition to the hospital’s current administration suite, according to a press release by Prisma. The project will expand the area by 6,700 square feet.
“This is an important moment in the fight against cancer in Pickens County. It’s important because we’ve all been affected by this disease in one way or another. The Larry Winn, M.D. Cancer Care Unit will provide a way to care for our neighbors in their greatest time of need,” said Todd Walker, Prisma Health Baptist Easley Hospital CEO.
The care unit will include:
- A state-of-the-art cancer infusion area
- Seven examination rooms
- 12 separate infusion spaces
- Infrastructure for the clinic
A Prisma Health oncologist will head the unit with the help of a nurse navigator. They’ll treat and support patients throughout their cancer treatment. Cancer surgeons will also be able to have follow-up evaluations with their patients at the unit.
“My husband would often comment how fortunate this community is to have such an outstanding medical facility. Because of Dr. Winn’s dedication, loyalty, and love for his God, family, medicine, and for this hospital and community, I am so blessed, honored, proud, and humbled to name this new addition to Prisma Health Baptist Easley Hospital,” said Wraellen Winn, widow of Dr. Winn.
