MedStar Health delays Olney cancer center expansion, expects to exceed original $3M budget

After setting out to open an expanded cancer pavilion in Montgomery County this summer, MedStar Health is now looking at more time — and more funding required — to deliver that project. MedStar Montgomery Medical Center in Olney, which started the formal planning phase for a $3 million renovation of the hospital’s existing oncology space in mid-2022, is now set to break ground on the site this fall, according to Jennifer Smith, vice president of philanthropy for MedStar Montgomery.
