The Cleveland Clinic's nearly $300 million cancer center is set to open soon, it was designed to help make patients more comfortable with the treatments with light colors and as much natural light as possible, according to an article on the NPR website.
All around the U.S., the healthcare industry is building up to take care of an expected influx of cancer patients.
The Cleveland Clinic, along with its local competitor, University Hospitals, treat about 70 percent of the region's cancer patients. And when the Cleveland Clinic opens its new center, the two will be located within a five-minute drive of each other.
University Hospitals isn't worried about the competition. The 4-year-old hospital is mostly full every day.
"We discharged over 11,000 patients with cancer in 2014," a hospital official said, "which is about a 20 percent increase over just a few years beforehand."
