Above / During a recent open house, Kay Slocumb and Jack Slocumb of Naperville stand in front of a message from the late Frank Slocumb, inscribed on the “Tribute to Hope” wall at the Edward Cancer Center on the campus of Edward Hospital in Naperville.
Due, in part, to funds raised through the Edward Foundation’s “Campaign Against Cancer,” the Edward Cancer Center has expanded and renovated space for patients at its location on the Edward Hospital campus in Naperville. The $2 million project resulted in more infusion bays and exam rooms, and a larger, brighter waiting area. The renovations and improvements were necessary because of the growing demand for cancer services since the facility opened in 2005.
The updated space also includes a “Tribute to Hope” wall on which donors can offer words of inspiration, encouragement and support to those going through cancer treatment. For more information, visit www.eehealth.org/tributetohope.
