When you choose to name a space at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, you link your name, or that of a loved one, to the Institute's lifesaving mission. 

As patients and caregivers move throughout the Institute, they realize the power of a community committed to conquering cancer.

    If you are passionate about supporting Dana-Farber's mission to conquer cancer, you will find a variety of spaces to name across the Institute that will serve as a visible reminder of your generosity for patients, caregivers, and staff.

    Infusion and Exam Services starting at $25,000: Located within the Yawkey Center and in Dana-Farber’s Jimmy Fund Clinic, patients receive their chemotherapy treatments at Infusion Services. Each space is filled with light and designed for comfort and healing.

    Also located within the Yawkey Center and Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Clinic, Exam Services is where patients wait for and meet with their clinical care teams to discuss their treatment. Spaces available for naming within Exam Services include exam rooms, waiting areas, medical team offices, and vitals bays.

    Laboratory Services starting at $25,000: Located on the busy second floor of the Yawkey Center, Laboratory Services is a hub of the hospital where nearly all adult patients begin appointments. There are additional naming opportunities within the Laboratory Services area including private rooms, laboratory services suites, and laboratory bays.

    Conference Rooms and Staff Lounges starting at $50,000: Our staff is essential to everything we do at Dana-Farber and naming a conference room or staff lounge in the Yawkey Center or Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Clinic demonstrates significant support for the individuals who provide exceptional care. Staff lounges give our caregivers a place to gather and conference rooms allow doctors, nurses, and other members of a patient’s care team to plan treatment for each patient.

    Lobbies and Waiting Areas starting at $1 million: Naming a lobby or waiting area makes a powerful and visible statement of your leadership support for the advances in cancer research and care that Dana-Farber exemplifies. These public spaces accommodate thousands of patients, faculty, and visitors each year. There are multiple opportunities for naming across our campus including a valet lobby and waiting area, main and parking elevator lobbies, and multiple clinical waiting areas.
