Never settle. Know that everything can undergo improvements and don't be scared to make those changes no matter how drastic they may seem. Designing is a gift. Not for yourself, but to share with others.

“At the Treatment Spa I feel so comfortable in this plush robe. Everyone here is just relaxing in their heating massage chair. After the complimentary pre-treatment massage, I walk down the hall to my radiation treatment. It uplifts my spirits with real life survival stories. For the few minutes I’m in that awful machine I will focus my thoughts on what my survival story could be like.”

“I’ve survived another treatment so I grab my favorite snacks from the complimentary snack bar from the Living Room. I always feel like it’s my goody bag after another successful treatment. This place is bustling with doctors, patients and their families. Having cancer can be a terrifying experience, but I know I have a wonderful community of support all around me here.”
