There is a new pediatric cancer unit at 208-bed Medical City Children’s Hospital that will focus on all types of youth cancer and blood disorders. Previously, the hospital’s pediatric cancer patients shared space with other pediatric patients, but the new unit will be focused on cancer patients.
The newly-constructed unit will include 12 patient rooms equipped with 55-inch smart HD televisions, desks, closets, a family lounge with other amenities, two playrooms, an exercise bike, a conference room and high-efficiency particulate air filters for all rooms, providing purified air for cancer patients.
“Opening the new pediatric cancer unit at Medical City Children’s Hospital allows us to expand our cancer services, and meet the growing needs of pediatric patients, while offering the highest level of care,” said Jessica O’Neal, CEO of Medical City Children’s Hospital and Medical City Women’s Hospital Dallas via release.
