Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute opened its new clinic location in Clermont this spring. The new facility at 1340 N. Hancock Road, Clermont, FL 34711 replaces the former location in Lake County.
The new clinic has 7,500 square feet of space and includes eight patient exam rooms, 25 infusion treatment chairs, with on-site laboratory, pharmacy and PET/CT imaging and nutritional counseling. Patients will also have opportunities to participate in clinical trials research as well as care management services.
FCS Chief Procurement Officer Paul Chadwick opened the ceremony at the end of April, welcoming FCS physicians, senior leaders and community partners, including Clermont Mayor Tim Murray.
FCS Board-certified medical oncologists Ahmed Al-Hazzouri, MD, Meera Iyengar, MD, Mohsin Malik, MD and Hakam Khazrik, MD are providing care to patients at the new Clermont clinic.
“My colleagues and I share a passion and dedication to serving our patients and their families with the most advanced treatments personalized for their unique needs,” said Dr. Al-Hazzouri. “In this new space, we have created an environment that enhances patient experiences and the process of caring and healing.”
FCS Regional Senior Vice President of Operations Inga Gonzalez noted, “This new clinic is a testament to FCS’ commitment to patients in the Clermont community and throughout Lake County. We have further enhanced our ability to provide world-class cancer care to even more residents in a truly impressive, and easy to access, patient centric environment.”
“None of this would be possible without the dedication and support from our local leadership and office staff,” Gonzalez added. “Every day, these are the individuals who are truly making an impact on patient lives.”
FCS cares for all forms of cancer and blood disorders at nearly 100 locations throughout Florida. The comprehensive team of more than 250 physicians, 220 advanced practice providers and nearly 4,000 team members share a commitment to providing patients and their families with the care and support they need at every step of their cancer journey.
