It sounds like it's going to be a great place. The official name is the Smilow Cancer Hospital, and the new chief physician is currently (or was until recently) head of oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital -- nice credentials.
I like the rooftop garden that they have planned. Very peaceful. Plus, there are "infusion suites," which sounds great. I assume a suite means I'd get an extra seating area or a kitchenette with microwave and mini-fridge or something.
Yale already has an excellent reputation for oncology care -- US News and World Report ranks it in the top 25 hospitals in the country. (You know what's really comforting to me? Five of the top 25 are within about 2 hours of my house.) I think this new facility will only increase their reputation.
Of course, I have a financial interest in all this -- my registration fee (plus a small extra donation) from the Hope is Coming 5k went to the hospital building fund. I better get a brick on the sidewalk or something.
