Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is planning to open a new outpatient cancer facility a few miles from the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care in Boston. Dana-Farber has leased two floors at the property, located at 300 Boylston Street in Chestnut Hill. This new
location will provide much needed additional space for patient care to support our patient growth. Dana-Farber plans to open this multi-disciplinary, state-of-the-art facility in late 2020.
