The Jimmy Fund Clinic at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
The Jimmy Fund Clinic at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute recently underwent a renovation of their center which is recognized around the world for their research and treatment of pediatric cancers.
The 19,000 square foot renovation brought open spaces and natural light throughout. The infusion stations are organized under a canopy of colorful rings that shelter individual patients while still keeping them connected to others within the clinic. The goal was to bring bright colors and shapes to all spaces, rather than the typical pediatric design of zoos and aquariums.
Healthcare Design Magazine has an article and photo tour on this renovated outpatient facility. Below are some of the photos. To read the article and view all of the photos, click here.
