How patients and families built the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care
Our patients and families were involved in many important decisions about the creation of the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care. Their knowledge meant they had invaluable insight into the experience of going through cancer treatment. Here, some of our patients and caregivers explain how they helped create a warm, healing environment for people with cancer.
