A former convent for the Sisters of The Holy Family of Nazareth in Chicago’s West Side was renovated to house the Center for Cancer and Specialty Care at Presence Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center, according to an article on the BisNow website.
Presence Health's renovation called for both new construction and retrofitting old spaces, like the church, for patient use.
As is the case with newer medical technology, the services determined structural needs, including housing a new linear accelerator.
In addition to the technology, other parts of the facility will offer resources like wig fittings, makeup lessons and support groups.
