SARATOGA SPRINGS – A $6 million project at Saratoga Hospital to install a new linear accelerator machine, as part of a wider expansion of its Radiation Oncology Center (ROC), has received city approvals but may not begin until spring 2018.

Kevin Ronayne, vice president of operations and facilities at Saratoga Hospital, indicated by email this week that finalizing the required state approvals for the project seems “more and more unlikely” as the month of November proceeds. Ronayne said he expects the work to begin next March or April, and to finish nearly six months later.

Every day, more than 40 patients receive cancer treatment at the main ROC location on Church Street or related off-site facilities.

Ronayne said Albany-based AOW Associates, which has completed projects at the Wesley Community as well, would be the construction manager and general contractor for the $6 million ROC project.
