Cancer patients in Folsom and the nearby foothills region of western El Dorado County will soon have access to chemotherapy and other cancer care services close to home. The new $171 million Folsom Medical Office Building spanning 34 acres near E. Bidwell Street at U.S. 50 is scheduled to open in 2025.
Oncology services within the three-story health care complex will include state-of-the-art individual “infusion bays.” Patients receiving treatment can socialize with other patients, work from their laptops or have guests join them in private pods designed to be as comfortable as a living room.
Most of the infusion bays also have views of an outdoor healing garden featuring plants that reflect the natural biome of El Dorado County. The nature theme will continue indoors with soft purple and orange colors depicting native lupine and poppy wildflowers “blooming” on wall murals in the reception and treatment areas.
