Opened in 2009, Smilow Cancer Hospital treats more cancer patients than any other hospital in Connecticut and is the only comprehensive cancer facility in the Northeast – bringing together both inpatient and outpatient care in one hospital. Within the state-of-the-art 14-story facility, the brightest minds in clinical research and patient care are developing new methods to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Smilow Cancer Hospital’s revolutionary design is based on research which links architecture and environment as an essential partner in the healing process along with advanced medicine and care. Every facet of the hospital was designed with the patient experience in mind: natural lighting, soaring atriums, improved ventilation and single-patient rooms. Plus numerous open spaces, soft colors, a curated artwork program, a rooftop healing garden and the most caring, compassionate and professional staff in medicine today.
