U.Va.'s Emily Couric Clinic Puts Cancer Patients First

摘要

The University of Virginia (U.Va.) Medical Center is a national leader in cancer research, prevention, detection and treatment. Until recently, its various oncology treatment and diagnostic services were located in different buildings on U.Va.'s Charlottesville campus. That changed this past April 4, however, when U.Va. Opened its new Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center (ECCCC), a $74 million facility that brings almost all outpatient cancer services under one roof and closer to the University Hospital. The ECCCC, served by U.Va.'s central steam and chilled-water systems, pays tribute to the late state Sen. Emily Couric and her work to obtain funds for cancer care and research in Virginia.
