PHOENIX (AP) - The new University of Arizona Cancer Center at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in downtown Phoenix is having a ceremonial groundbreaking.

Thursday's event is scheduled for 10 a.m.

The new outpatient clinic at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus will go up on the northwest corner of Fillmore and Seventh streets.

It's expected to open in 2015.

Under an affiliation agreement approved by the Arizona Board of Regents and Dignity Health Arizona, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center will operate outpatient services at the new downtown facility as well at its hospital campus.
