Local 12, Business Courier highlight Blood Cancer Healing Center
Local 12 and the Cincinnati Business Courier highlighted the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center's Blood Cancer Healing Center, a comprehensive all-in-one facility dedicated solely to advancing research, treatment and wellness for blood cancer patients, opening this summer.
Care will be given around the clock in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, featuring 30 inpatient beds, outpatient and infusion clinics, survivorship and supportive services and a dedicated clinical trials unit. Novel therapies and other treatments, including cellular and stem cell therapies, will expand access to cutting-edge options for patients.
Additionally, the Center's design, inspired by Byrd's legacy of innovation, will foster enhanced collaboration between researchers and industry partners. With a dedicated laboratory space set to open in 2025, the Center will serve as a focused environment for high-impact discoveries and translational research in blood cancer treatment.
“Patients, their caregivers, researchers, people that are involved with integrative and spiritual care of patients and researchers, will all be present in the same building, focused on the same thing: curing blood cancers in a holistic manner,” said John Byrd, MD, a Cancer Center physician-researcher who also serves as the Gordon and Helen Hughes Taylor Professor and Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at the UC College of Medicine.
