Testimonial
From Dr. Phillis Wu, Olive View Medical Center – UCLA.“Just wanted to let you know that the patient feedback we've gotten so far has been so overwhelmingly positive. They LOVE it and really say it makes a difference in clinic (patients have said it feels like you are at a 'real' cancer center). Beyond that, this project has inspired some of our higher-ups to want to do a redesign for our other clinics, as they are able to see what a big difference these changes have made! One patient actually asked (a little confused) to clarify if the clinic was on the 2nd floor because they saw the skylights and wondered why they could look outside. lol.Thanks again for all of your amazing work! – Phillis
What We Did
Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo collaborated with interior designers, volunteers, local vendors and sponsors to transform hospital and clinic chemotherapy treatment rooms into beautiful, tranquil environments. A San Francisco-based nonprofit RTR4C understood environments that are uplifting, inspiring and hopeful, ease the suffering of all cancer patients -- both children and adults.
What We Provided
RTR4C created an entirely new environment in which patients received treatment: FUN & HOPEFUL for children, SPA-LIKE and SOOTHING for adults. This was accomplished by working together with facility operators and engineers, volunteer professional designers, local community and sponsors to create amazing new physical surroundings.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Rooms that Rock 4 Chemo mobilizes compassionate artists, designers, and volunteers to transform chemotherapy treatment facilities into vibrant, beautiful spaces that encourage healing and hope for all who are affected by cancer. We envision a world in which all who are touched by cancer — regardless of income, geography, background, or age — have access to inspiring and hopeful chemotherapy treatment facilities that support the healing process.
