About our LEED certification
At the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, we prioritize well-being beyond medical care. As the first stand-alone LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) proton therapy center in the U.S., our facility is designed to reduce noise and sensory stress during long treatment days, improve air quality, and minimize exposure to harmful chemicals.
The center is a collaboration of Texas Oncology, The US Oncology Network, supported by McKesson Specialty Health, and Baylor Scott & White Health. The advanced treatment facility provides services through Texas Oncology, an independent oncology practice with locations throughout Texas. Texas Oncology is affiliated with The US Oncology Network, which includes privately held community-based oncology practices across the country.
