Since opening its doors in 2023, the 12-story O’Quinn Medical Tower serves as the world-class ambulatory care center for the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Here, the Duncan Cancer Center unites its different aims—train the next generation of physician-scientists, reduce barriers to access, provide patient-centered care and develop novel prevention and treatment strategies—because science and care must go hand-in-hand to achieve real impact.
For example, Duncan Cancer Center patients can participate in one of Dr. Musher’s clinical trials or eventually benefit from the translational efforts of Drs. Deneen and Rao, all under one roof.
The O’Quinn Medical Tower augments clinical research with additional infusion and pharmacy space while facilitating the expansion of multidisciplinary cancer care. Additionally, the O’Quinn Medical Tower’s location near the new Helix Park development will foster collaboration with additional Baylor thought leaders, physician-scientists from other Texas Medical Center institutions and industry partners.
Many individuals in the community helped make this new building a reality. With support from donors such as The John M. O’Quinn Foundation, the people and programs within the O’Quinn Medical Tower will help ensure cancer patients in Houston have the best medical care possible now and in the future.
“This beautiful building offers people with cancer a peaceful, serene place to receive top-of-the-line care from the talented doctors, nurses and staff at Baylor. We are proud to have our name associated with such an important place of hope for our community,” said Robert C. Wilson, III, President of The John M. O’Quinn Foundation.
