More attention and resources are flowing into cancer management clinics than ever before, improving survival and the overall patient experience. We hear about it from time to time – not only from clinics that are effectively harnessing our technology to help patients, but also from centers that have invested a lot of time, creativity and money into transforming the “cancer ward” into an environment where optimism lives, a home away from home, a place of hope.
It’s time we recognized and highlighted your efforts. Wavelength is the best place to show your fellow cancer care professionals what you did to make your clinic stand out, and to give them inspiration about what they can do to make their clinic a special place for patients.
Tell us what makes your center unique. Write a brief description of what you did to improve your facilities or services. Photographs (high-resolution jpegs) are welcomed and encouraged if they help tell the story. Include your name, clinic or hospital name and email address and send to media@elekta.com. Here are some examples to get you thinking:
-
Artwork (especially patient artwork)
-
Architecture
-
Meditation rooms
-
High tech
-
Celebrity visits
-
Cancer survivor events
-
Patient awards
-
General patient comfort
