Just as the sun was rising Tuesday, a group from the Florida Cancer Specialists broke ground on the new state-of-the-art Clermont Cancer Center, which will replace the existing location on Wickham Way.

“Next April, where we stand today will be a brand new Cancer Center to serve the residents of Lake County,” Joyce Nelson, FCS Chief Administrative Officer, said. “We’re excited that this greatly-expanded space will offer great comfort for our patients, staff and visitors to enhance their patient experience and enable us to keep pace with the ongoing growth in our community.”

According to Nelson, the American Cancer Society has estimated that 148,000 Floridians will be diagnosed with cancer this year.
