A small number of
oncology jobs will be created by a new round of funding for an up-and-coming cancer center.
The
Del E. Webb Foundation recently announced that it will donate $2 million to the
Arizona Cancer Center to support the new facility's recruiting and hiring efforts. Initially, the center plans to hire four medical oncologists and two
radiation oncologists.
The cancer center's clinical operations are slated to begin this summer on the
St. Joseph's Hospital campus in central Phoenix. Those operations will move to a new 250,000-square-foot outpatient facility on the
Phoenix Biomedical Campus by 2013.
"We are extremely grateful to the Del E. Webb Foundation for this leadership gift to assist in the launch of our Arizona Cancer Center clinical and translational research programs in Phoenix," David S. Alberts, MD, director of the Arizona Cancer Center, said in a statement.
The Del E. Webb Foundation already has a strong relationship with Arizona Cancer Center, as it funded the Del E. Webb Laboratories for Basic Cancer Research on the third floor of the center's Sydney E. Salmon MD Building.
Since 1960, the Del E. Webb Foundation has supported organizations that provide medical services, engage in medical research, and operate educational facilities. They provide funding to organizations in Arizona, California, and Nevada.
