Dedication of N.C. Cancer Hospital Highlights New Face of Cancer Care
Date:9/15/2009

ment in areas like the infusion suites. Upon visiting the N.C. Cancer Hospital for the first time, she said, "Finally, the quality of the space matches the quality of the care."

For patients like Raasch, the new building means that time will be spent in expanded infusion areas with space for caregivers and relatives, views of campus or the landscaped hospital courtyard, the option for privacy and amenities like individual televisions to help pass the time during treatment.

Today's festivities, including ribbon cutting honors done by cancer survivors from across the state, were also streamed online to hundreds of viewers via the hospital's new state-of-the-art teleconferencing facilities, funded by the University Cancer Research Fund (UCRF).

"These high-definition videoconferencing capabilities allow teams of UNC specialists from various disciplines to talk with physicians across the state in real time, so that we can collaborate with them to develop the best, individualized treatment plans for each patient - an approach that has been shown to improve patient care," said Richard M. Goldberg, MD, the N.C. Cancer Hospital's Physician-in-Chief.

"The ability to collaborate across the state is central to our Hospital's and Center's role," notes Shelton Earp, MD, Director of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

"Our outstanding faculty has grown with recruitment of additional clinicians and scientists through UCRF support. Together they are making exciting discoveries. However, this progress is meaningless unless we can make it available to North Carolinians through clinical trials in collaboration with centers and physicians throughout the state. Partnerships help us hasten the translation of new laboratory findings into patient care. The new hospital and network will provide more patients with access to the very latest advances," he said.
