The center is the only like it in the states of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and Arkansas.

One of only 38 proton therapy centers in the country, construction was done in partnership with McCownGordon Construction and Fort Worth-based Linbeck. Canada-based Stantec partnered with Hoefer Welker on the facility design.
