Final hearing held in Danbury Proton's appeal of state application rejection

A final hearing has been held by the state Office of Health Strategy into the appeal of a rejection of Danbury Proton's application to open a cancer treatment center on the City's westside.  Company officials cited the approval earlier this month by the agency of a proton therapy center in Wallingford as proof this novel treatment should be approved. 

The state rejected the center’s application in late February to open an $80 million facility on Wooster Heights. 

Danbury Proton Attorney David Hardy says there’s no downside risk to the state in approving the certificate of need application.  During the half hour hearing, Hardy said 992 patients a year could use proton therapy, and that doesn't include people who could travel from New York.  No decision was immediately made after the hearing.
