Dana-Farber Cancer Institute announced that the Yawkey Foundation made a generous $50 million grant to support Dana-Farber's planned cancer hospital and the Future of Cancer Care Fund. The gift commemorates an eight-decade partnership and will help support construction of Dana-Farber's future cancer hospital and other critical priorities including accelerating cancer research, and advancing early detection, survivorship, psychosocial services, and patient assistance.
A new bridge, spanning across Brookline Avenue and connecting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care to the planned cancer hospital, will be named in honor of Jean and Tom Yawkey. The bridge will provide a crucial access point for patients, families, faculty and staff between the Yawkey Center and the new cancer hospital, linking inpatient and outpatient facilities to ensure patients receive integrated care in a medical environment focused exclusively on cancer.
The planned 14-floor facilities, owned and operated by Dana-Farber, will span 450,000 square feet, include 300 private inpatient rooms and be the only dedicated adult cancer hospital in New England.
