ATLANTA - The Senate gave the green light Wednesday for Cancer Treatment Centers of America to build a specialty hospital south of Atlanta primarily for paying patients from outside of Georgia.
The for-profit company has four hospitals across the country that offer a holistic approach to treating cancer patients, including not only the latest technology but spiritual guidance, said Senate Majority Leader Tommie Williams, the legislation's chief sponsor.
