Sibley Memorial Hospital, a 340-bed, full-service hospital in Northwest D.C., is planning a new $10-million cancer center expected to open in fall of this year. Significantly increasing radiation therapy treatment capacity, the new single story 14,000-sf addition will be funded by $40 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds. The bonds will also help pay for the 8.5-acre site adjacent to the hospital purchased from the Army Corps of Engineers on which part of the cancer center will be located. A $2-million renovation of the hospital's obstetric facilities is also in the works. Additionally, a new office building could also be constructed on the newly acquired land.
