LEAGUE CITY, Texas – A collaboration between University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center aims to bring the first free-standing MD Anderson clinical building to League City.
The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the first-ever clinical collaboration agreement for MD Anderson to open an outpatient cancer center on the UTMB League City Campus.

The center will be built near the intersection of Interstate 10 and Highway 6, less than eight miles from MD Anderson's Bay Area location (Nassau Bay). When it opens to patients in 2018, the building will be approximately 135,000 square feet.
"We are extremely pleased to be collaborating with a UT System sister institution," said Donna K. Sollenberger, executive vice president and CEO of UTMB Health. "Together with the services that we provide, this collaboration further expands the excellent health care services that will be available at the League City campus."
"Our mission to end cancer charges us with expanding and adapting programs that best reflect and respond to the needs of our patients, and this new center demonstrates that commitment," Thomas Burke, M.D., executive vice president, MD Anderson Cancer Network.
In addition to MD Anderson patient care facilities in Bay Area, Katy and Memorial City, there also are care centers in Sugar Land and The Woodlands.
