STAMFORD – As part of a $275 million comprehensive plan to transform its Bennett Medical Center campus where Stamford Hospital is located, Stamford Health plans to build a 73,000-square-foot, free standing Carl & Dorothy Bennett Cancer Center on the southwest corner of the campus.

Stamford Health cited the growing number of cancer diagnoses and the increasing number of effective treatments as a reason for the expansion. The health care company said it needed to evolve alongside the excellence of its clinical care, which is delivered as part of a collaboration with Dana Farber Brigham Cancer Center.

It also plans to expand the existing Bennett Cancer Center space into a two-floor behavioral health facility that will increase capacity and introduce a Partial Hospitalization Program along with outpatient psychiatric services. Two other facets of the expansion include relocating the Van Munching Inpatient Rehabilitation unit to the fourth floor of Stamford Hospital from its location in the oldest building on the campus. The new unit will feature 20 private rooms, specialized spaces for brain injury care, advanced physical therapy and rehabilitation equipment and enhanced recreational areas.
