Cancer patients at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center now have expanded access to chemotherapy services at the Cancer Center. The Vanderbilt-Ingram Chemotherapy Infusion Clinic has moved to renovated space on the second floor of The Vanderbilt Clinic.
The new clinic has been in the planning and development stage for more than two years. Several committees, comprised of patients, caregivers, staff and administrators, evaluated a multitude of design issues, such as colors, furniture and other aesthetic and functional features.
The first priority was more space, including nearly twice the number of chemotherapy chairs.
“Demand for chemotherapy services is so intense that, in addition to our existing 23 treatment rooms, we recently put up curtains in our waiting room to create three additional treatment bays,” said Leah Atwell, manager of Patient Care Services for Vanderbilt-Ingram. “We are thankful that our patients have been so gracious and understanding while we have been building the new clinic.”
