A three-way partnership involving Hartford HealthCare and the Yale New Haven Health System has secured approval to bring a highly advanced form of radiation therapy for cancer to a planned facility in Connecticut.
In a joint statement, the health care systems said Tuesday morning they will work together to launch the Connecticut Proton Therapy Center, expected to be built at 932 Northrop Road in Wallingford. The 25,000-square-foot facility will use proton beams, rather than X-rays, to target cancer in patients.
