Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford said it has successfully reached its goal of raising $5 million in a recent fundraising campaign that will result in the construction of a new outpatient Clinical Care Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at the hospital.
The new Clinical Care Center will allow Connecticut Children’s to double its space devoted to its oncology and hematology programs. It will also allow the Medical Center to add technology, broaden its research and further integrate care in these areas.
“This expansion could not happen without significant philanthropic support and we are grateful to everyone who made the success of this project a priority,” said Glen Greenberg, a Connecticut Children’s Foundation Board Member who served of the organizations “A Brighter Hope” campaign. We are truly blessed to have had such a wonderful outpouring of generosity from both individuals and organizations committed to seeing the very best clinical care provided to children and families.”
Construction of the new Clinical Care Center has already begun and is expected to conclude later this year. When complete, the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders will include:
· 8,000 square feet of clinical care space-Current facilities are 4,000 square feet including the second floor clinic and the eighth floor transfusion suite
· Seven exam rooms-Current facilities have three exam rooms that are located in the second floor clinic
· Four private infusion rooms-Current facilities have seating for three patients in a common area in the second floor clinic
· Four private “day treatment” hospital rooms-Current facilities have beds for four patients in the transfusion suite in a semi-private area on the eighth floor
· On-site blood laboratory
