Norwalk (Conn.) Hospital hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony last Saturday to unveil its new C. Anthony and Jean Whittingham Cancer Center.
More than 400 people toured the new 35,000-square-foot facility Saturday, according to a press release. The addition is part of the hospital's largest expansion project to date and doubles its existing cancer treatment space.
The center includes an outdoor healing garden, consultation room, two private infusion suites, 18 infusion bays, a CT Simulator and two linear accelerators.
The new center is named for the late C. Anthony and Jean Whittingham, whose generosity helped build the hospital's first cancer center in 1997. Now their two sons, Andrew and Michael Whittingham, have continued to donate to the cause. The family has given $4.5 million for cancer care services since 1997 at the hospital.
"I am deeply humbled by our community's incredible generosity. Hundreds of people and businesses contributed to the hospital's fundraising efforts, and I extend a special thank you to the Whittinghams for their exceptional commitment to Norwalk Hospital and the greater community. Their gift will truly touch countless lives for generations to come." Norwalk Hospital President Michael Daglio said in a press release.
