University of Virginia Health System

At the University of Virginia, we have a vision for our new clinical cancer facility. It will be a place where families can come to be supported in their fight against cancer, knowing that they will receive the most advanced therapies possible. It will be a place where their humanity will be valued, their individuality honored, and their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual struggle sustained.

Above all, it will be a place of hope and healing.

The Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center will be designed to accommodate advances in such areas as genetic diagnosis and analysis, informatics, and molecular biology. It will be organized so that all disciplines and services can easily be brought to the patient to provide individualized care that is both sophisticated and tightly integrated.

At the same time, our new building will be the center of a community that extends for hundreds of miles in all directions. It will be a place that inspires people to come together to learn, to listen, and ultimately to join together to fight cancer.

 A Building for the Future
The Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center will house all outpatient services for adults diagnosed with cancer, including:

• Comprehensive services for patient-centered care, including infusion, physician consultations, imaging, hematology and oncology clinics
• Complete radiation-oncology treatment services, including state-of-the-art tomotherapy, which delivers precise, targeted doses of radiotherapy to tumors
• A clinical trials office, ensuring that advanced or experimental therapies are available to every patient
• Complete patient and family services, including a cancer learning center and programs to foster physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being
• Clusters of exam and consultation rooms that maintain privacy as well as access to complete clinical information on each patient
• Telemedicine capabilities for offering expert consultation and outreach across the region.

Make a Difference
With $50 million in private support, we can construct this building: a place where hope and healing can thrive.
