Better Cancer Care, Close to Home

A cancer diagnosis is frightening for anyone. 患者及其家属纠结的问题之一是如何找到最好的护理,以及他们是否可以获得这种护理. For many residents of South King County, 去西雅图接受癌症治疗根本不是一种选择——尤其是频繁的预约或每次持续数小时的输液治疗. 即使是那些负担得起时间和交通费用的人,如果能在离家更近的地方接受治疗,也能得到更好的服务, at an institution they know and trust, with family and friends by their side.

十大正规网赌软件建立了一个强大的癌症护理项目,该项目已经大大超出了目前的能力,并且出于需要分散在十大正规网赌软件校园内. Care coordination has become increasingly difficult, with providers located in different areas of the hospital and in separate clinics; patients have to experience the added stress of going to multiple locations on campus for their testing, care, and treatment. A single facility will provide more research opportunities, better caregiver collaboration, ease of patient stress and an improved experience.

感谢许多人的支持-从我们的董事会和整个高级领导团队到我们的肿瘤学领导者, providers and caregivers, to Valley Girls & Guys and over 500 individual and corporate donors – we are thrilled to announce construction of the initial phase (Phase 1A) of the new Cancer Center has begun!

“We are witnessing the dawning of a new era in patient care and experience, coming soon for oncology patients in South King County,” shared Jeannine Erickson Grinnell, CEO of Valley Medical Center, at a recent event. Unfortunately, cancer is the leading cause of illness in our community. In addition, much of the population growth happening in our region is happening in Southeast King County, 对癌症服务的需求大大增加,对试图在离家近的地方获得癌症治疗的患者提出了重大挑战. 十大正规网赌软件新的综合癌症中心将拥有价值6000万美元的最先进的设施,并扩大我们社区需要的服务,就在他们的后院.

南金县的患者和家属应该得到全面的癌症治疗,而不必再去西雅图或塔科马进行漫长而紧张的通勤. 他们应该得到更多和可获得的治疗选择、临床服务和支持资源. And they deserve a sanctuary of hope, help, and healing that is truly coordinated.

Phase 1A will provide a better, more efficient care experience, and innovative treatment in a healing environment. Located on the 3rd floor of our new East Pavilion, this initial phase, once completed, 将有41个输液中心,包括9个私人和半私人房间和3个快速通道治疗椅, compounding pharmacy, reception area, lab, symptom management services, and the Trapper and Samantha Wellbeing Resource Center. Phase 1A will be completed in early 2025!

Fundraising is continuing, focused on the remaining $45M needed to complete phases 1B and 2. 1B期包括3层的剩余部分,将容纳新的肿瘤和血液学诊所和多学科诊所,用于患者/护理团队会议和治疗计划. It will also include a café space designed for loved ones to enjoy food, coffee, and respite. Phase 2 will focus on the 1st floor and house Radiation Therapy and oncology imaging. 每一位捐赠者和筹集的每一美元都使我们更接近我们的目标,为我们的社区打开这个综合性癌症中心的大门.
