Issue 7 Aliquam 2 Donec 5 New Cancer Center Vision 2012 “Where Hope Lives, Excellence Thrives” Taking a Closer Look at HumanCentered Care In our last issue, we touched on the humancentered 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, humancentered 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 dropoff 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! AllStar Game Raises $5,000 The 2011 PerrymanKeglovits Foundation's AllStar Basketball Game raised $5,000 for the Pocono Health Foundation, which will be directed to the new Hughes Cancer Center.

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:
