Representatives with the largest not-for-profit network of private practice cancer specialists in Arkansas – and one of the largest in the U.S. southern region – participated in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new CARTI Cancer Center in October.

Recognized for the past two years as the largest construction project in Arkansas, the CARTI Cancer Center sits along the Little Rock medical corridor on 37 acres just south of Interstate 630 in Little Rock.  The new world-class, multi-disciplinary cancer center serves as the administrative hub of the CARTI network and will house about 350 employees and staff 11 medical oncologists, four radiation oncologists, four diagnostic radiologists and one surgical oncologist projected to treat approximately 700 patients per day.

Officials broke ground on the 170,000 square foot, $90 million cancer center on December 11, 2013.
