Thanks to donor support, our infusion patients will be getting a new space to receive their treatments with increased comfort and privacy. The area will have ten individual bays each with new infusion treatment chairs, a visitor chair and television. Privacy walls will divide the bays to ensure confidentiality for the patient and their visitors. A full view of the Healing Garden will provide the area with natural light and create a soothing therapeutic environment. Completion of this project is scheduled for early 2017.
The need for additional infusion services correlates with the continued trend to care for the uninsured and the under-insured. St. Mary continues to expand its Breast Health Initiative to provide care for underserved populations in Bensalem and surrounding areas. These outreach efforts will have a positive impact on diagnosing cancers early and the renovated Infusion Room will provide a comfortable place to receive treatment.
St. Mary Medical Center is moving forward while remaining committed to caring for our community. This project represents our dedication to treating the mind, body and spirit of our patients.
Renovation Plan: • Expand the capacity in the Infusion Center from eight to ten treatment chairs. • Create private bays for the patient and family. • Install an individual TV in each bay. • Create an open view to the Cancer Center Healing Garden.
