St. Tammany Cancer Center
Covington, LA
Integrative Oncology and Patient Services are the two primary programmatic functions of this multidisciplinary cancer center. At this facility, cancer patients benefit from a collaborative approach to care by the skilled team of 30 physicians, and more than 80 other healthcare workers who specialize in Medical, Radiation, and Surgical Oncology, along with Health & Wellness.
The three-story cancer center provides its patients with access to family support areas like consultation and meditation rooms. Also, giving patients and survivors a designated care space for outdoor yoga, physical therapy, and salon amenities. For those receiving cancer treatments, there are 47 private/semi-private infusion bays where patients and their guests can overlook views of the beautiful surrounding wetlands and wildlife. The use of open space planning, strategic way finding methods, and mindfulness ease of access in the overall design enhances the patient experience, which was the ultimate goal of this project.
