SHEPPARTON’S GenesisCare Cancer Radiation Centre on Corio street has received an award for its excellence in design and construction from Master Builders Victoria.
Dee Hepyukselen, manager of the centre, said the award received by Erilyan Projects Pty Ltd, from Master Builders Victoria for their 2020 Excellence in Construction Awards, is a testament to how closely the facility was designed with patients’ needs at the forefront.
“Our aim was for patients to feel as comfortable and as welcome as possible. Our centre, right here in Shepparton’s CBD, ensures many Goulburn Valley residents receiving radiotherapy treatment do not have to travel hundreds of kilometers to Melbourne,” said Ms Hepyukselen.
“GenesisCare would like to extend our congratulations to the brilliant team at Erilyan who worked tirelessly, and so closely with us, to build a truly state-of-the-art cancer facility, offering locals rapid access to the latest treatment techniques.”
Director of Erilyan, Jon Lewis, was thrilled to win the award for a project of particular community significance.
“While we are a Melbourne company, more than 80 percent of our tradies on this project were locals,” Mr Lewis said.
“So it’s the great work of the local community that has resulted in the standard of excellence for such an important project that Shepparton and Goulburn Valley residents will access.”
Shepparton GenesisCare Cancer Radiation Centre work in partnership with Goulburn Valley Health to provide various radiotherapy treatments to cancer patients and treated over 500 patients since opening last year.
