Riverview Medical Center’s New Inpatient Oncology Care Unit

Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center has expanded its existing cancer center at the Jane Booker Pavilion with a new inpatient oncology care unit.

Torcon served as the Construction Manager for the recent expansion at the specialized cancer center, which resulted in the addition of 20 private patient rooms, raising the total number of private inpatient beds to 41. This project involved a complete interior demolition of the existing facility, as well as significant mechanical upgrades to accommodate the new patient rooms. Enhancements were also made to the exterior façade. In addition to the new patient rooms, the upgraded space features a large family waiting room and a centrally located nursing station equipped with advanced technology to facilitate better communication.

HMH invested about $14.5 million for the nearly 11,000-square-foot expansion. By keeping oncology patients on the same hospital wing, the new unit aims to support stronger continuity of care and reduce the burden of care coordination throughout treatment.
