The impact of Smilow Cancer Hospital is nothing short of transformative, according to both patients and medical staff at Yale-New Haven Hospital in a feature published today. For patients, it has meant care with a personal touch, in a setting geared to their comfort and peace of mind, with a healing garden, patient boutique, and space for complementary therapies. Physicians see great value in offering comprehensive, centralized cancer care in a state-of-the-art facility.
In the article, Physician-in-Chief Dr Thomas Lynch notes that “Smilow Cancer Hospital has transformed our ability to provide multidisciplinary care to cancer patients at Yale. It is an absolutely fabulous, state-of-the-art facility that will benefit patients from throughout the region as we continue to expand our programs and move toward providing personalized cancer care to every patient.”
Smilow, which opened for limited outpatient services following its dedication last October, is now fully operational.
