“We are just that, we are a rural market. There is no reason that we shouldn’t have world-class here in rural markets.

“It brings more than 150 clinical trials right here into our rural area.

“Anywhere else, you need to travel to a metropolis or big city to get that care. Now, you can get those right here in Dickinson.”

Currently, the hospital is recruiting for the new expansion project.

“We are recruiting for another Oncologist, so we will need a care team to support him or her, and the research will bring in some jobs,” Shelast added.

The hospital has launched a fundraising campaign to cover some construction-related costs.

The centre is expected to become fully operational by September–October 2024.
