Designed Specifically for Cancer Care
When all you do is cancer, patients benefit.
Based on published data and our own research, we believe that patients in dedicated cancer centers have better outcomes than those cared for in general hospitals. In a dedicated cancer hospital, the people, facility design, resources, technology, and data collected — all the collective energy — are focused exclusively on cancer and cancer patients.
Building Design
The new inpatient building will span 450,000 square feet with 10 inpatient floors, offering:
- An enhanced patient experience in an inpatient facility focused solely on the needs of oncology patients.
- A state-of-the-art facility that can adapt to the rapid advances in oncology care.
- 300 beds to meet the growing incidence of cancer and ensure timely access to care.
- Dedicated parking for our patients and families.
- Seamless, integrated care supported by world-class teams of Dana-Farber clinicians.
Building Location
The Future Cancer Hospital will be located on the current site of the Joslin Diabetes Center, and adjacent to both Dana-Farber and BIDMC, creating an interlocking campus and a seamless patient experience from outpatient to inpatient care.
The proximity to our outpatient and research facilities in Longwood supports our continued bench-to-bedside research model.
*Construction of the Future Cancer Hospital is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals currently in process.
