New Cancer Center Vision 2012 “Where Hope Lives, Excellence Thrives”
Taking a Closer Look at Human-‐Centered Care In our last issue, we touched on the human-‐centered model of care that will be integral to our new Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center. This model, which focuses on healing the “entire” patient—mind, body, and spirit—was also central to selecting the new facility’s interior and exterior design. “As we designed the new Center, the team walked through every step of the cancer care process from the patient’s perspective,” says Keith Snidtker, Director of Facilities and Construction Management at PMC. By mapping out each and every stage of the cancer care experience, Snidker, along with his colleagues and architects Ewing Cole, were able to create a vision of seamless, human-‐centered care. The Center will incorporate carefully selected design elements, which have been proven in clinical studies to be therapeutic and welcoming for patients and their loved ones. These include:
• Access to nature • Abundant sunlight • Sensory stimulation • Outdoor views • Healing garden surrounded by beautiful, meticulous
landscaping • Clear travel paths for efficient patient and staff flow • Enclosed vehicular drop-‐off spots with gentle slopes, and more
“We reviewed several exterior and interior design concepts for the new Center,” says Stacy Goetz, Executive Director of Oncology Services at PMC. “We are confident that our chosen design will provide a warm, healing environment and will reflect our reputation as the leading regional cancer care provider.” Next issue: Learn more about the technologies behind the human-‐centered design of our new Center!
