Proton therapy was first used to treat patients in 1954 and received FDA approval in 1988. Proton radiation therapy destroys tumors with a precise, targeted dose of radiation. Proton beams break the DNA of cancer cells with minimal impact on healthy tissue.

On Friday afternoon, January 17, we received the official documentation from the Connecticut Office of Health Strategy (OHS) that our Certificate of Need (CON) application has been approved! Right now, we are in the “celebration” stage. We wanted to let you know ASAP so you can celebrate with us. We’ll share more details in coming days and weeks, but for now, we want to say THANK YOU for supporting us during this five-year journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Danbury Proton is a revolutionary, high-tech, world-class, life-saving proton therapy cancer treatment center that’s proposed in Danbury. It’s about a $90 million project using no state funds, that will create about 100 construction jobs for two years, about 30 permanent jobs, generate significant local and state tax revenue, be a remarkable example of “green” building design and operation, and improve the quality, access, R&D capacity and competitive cost-efficiency of Connecticut’s health care system.

Since we announced our project in April of 2020, the circle of support across Connecticut has been very encouraging!
