The Mead Family Cancer Center is set to open in Columbus, Ohio, as part of the Columbus Community Hospital (CCH), funded by a gift from the former owners of Mead Lumber. The cancer center has plans to open in fall 2026 and will unite comprehensive cancer services under one roof, including advanced treatments, cutting edge technology and compassionate, personalized care.
The center is named in honor of the generous donation from the Mead family, who are committed to supporting local health care in the Columbus area.
“My family has been touched by cancer,” says Bob Mead, former owner of Mead Lumber. “I’m giving to this center because I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate care and cutting-edge treatments within their community.”
The Mead Cancer Center will span 26,500 square feet and consolidate CCH’s oncology services, including infusion therapy, radiation oncology (Columbus Cancer Care), medical oncology (Hematology &Oncology Consultants, PC), PET/CT imaging and patient navigation in one location.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Mead family for their generosity and commitment to enhancing cancer care in our area,” says Keith Luedders, vice president for ancillary services at CCH. “Their support helps make the vision of the Mead Cancer Center a reality, and we are excited to offer our community a comprehensive, convenient and patient-centered cancer care experience.”
