Kearney Cancer Center Celebrates Opening

Today, Kearney Regional Medical Center and Cancer Partners of Nebraska celebrated the opening of Kearney Cancer Center, designed by Ballinger.

Located in Kearney, Nebraska, the 25,000 SF building centralizes cancer care services in a tranquil environment, easing stress for patients and families by reducing travel to specialists. Combining cutting-edge technology, imaging, and laboratory services, plus access to clinical trials, the center offers early detection and advanced treatments for cancer, as well as wraparound services like mastectomy fittings.

Kearney Regional Medical Center and Cancer Partners of Nebraska welcomed community members to visit the building and celebrate its opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The program included remarks from surgeon Melissa Stade, MD, radiation oncologist Justin Burr, MD, and notable locals including Seth Denney and Zach Wiegert.

Ballinger Principal Thomas J. Parr, Jr., AIA and Associate Todd Costain attended the ceremony. “Kearney is a remarkable community, and this center reflects its spirit,” Tom said. “It’s rewarding to see a project that not only advances healthcare but also eases the burden on patients and their families. Contributing to a place that brings care closer to home—and getting to know the people who made it possible—has been a special experience for me.”

The center will open to patients this fall.
