Froedtert Opens Pediatric Waiting Room for Referred Young Cancer Patients

Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin has opened a new child-friendly waiting room for pediatric cancer patients receiving radiation oncology at Froedtert & the Medical College Cancer Center, according to a report from Wauwatosa Now.

The waiting room caters to young cancer patients who may need the expertise that Froedtert & the Medical College has to offer. Such cancer cases are rare, and before the waiting room opened, Froedtert didn't have a space to accommodate kids coming to the hospital for cancer care.

The center cost approximately $35,000 to build, and the money was raised through donations from hospital physicians and staff, community foundations and vendors, according to the report.
