John Ziebold, chairman of the hospital's cancer center fundraising campaign, "The Power of Many," said the center will be a "beacon of hope" that people will admire as they drive over Charleston's Kaufman Memorial 35th Street Bridge.

Charleston Area Medical Center CEO David Ramsey said buying the land to build the new cancer center at the former Watt Powell Park location was a "win-win" decision for everybody involved. The money was needed to build the new Appalachian Power Park in Charleston and the location is ideal for the cancer center because it's rare to find such flat land and it's located near an existing hospital, Ramsey said.
