A Celebration <strong>of</strong> Life: 10 Years <strong>of</strong> Hope and Healing<br />
The <strong>Parma</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> Cancer Center's model <strong>of</strong> care was founded on early<br />
principles <strong>of</strong> Relationship-Based Care including belief in the idea that the<br />
relationship a person has with their caregiver has a significant impact on<br />
how well they recover. The design and environment <strong>of</strong> the center was also<br />
part <strong>of</strong> this more holistic approach. Natural lighting in the chemotherapy<br />
areas, relaxing interior design and calming focal points in the radiation<br />
oncology areas create a supportive and comfortable environment where<br />
people receive their treatment.<br />
The 10-year anniversary celebrates the cancer program's affiliation to the<br />
Taussig Cancer Institute <strong>of</strong> the Cleveland Clinic, ranked #1 in Ohio for<br />
cancer care by U.S. News & World Report. This clinical expertise<br />
combined with <strong>Parma</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s excellent, personalized care and<br />
community focus brings high quality, compassionate treatment for the<br />
whole person to this community.<br />
