Gov. Larry Hogan announced Thursday that the state is committing $216 million in investments to jumpstart a new Maryland Cancer Moonshot Initiative to advance research and save lives.
The new initiative will include the first ever comprehensive cancer center in Prince George’s County.
Officials broke ground on the cancer center Thursday afternoon.
The Maryland Cancer Moonshot will expand early detection, screening, and patient education; advance state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient care services; and support cutting-edge research of cures and treatments, according to a statement released by the governor’s office.
