White Plains Hospital renovates infusion center

White Plains Hospital recently unveiled a fully renovated, 10,000-square-foot infusion center for patients receiving chemotherapy and other infusion treatments at its Dickstein Cancer Treatment Center.

Hospital officials said the third-floor center includes new finishes and furnishings, nine private infusion bays with individual television and temperature control, Wi-Fi access and additional chemotherapy chairs in a communal space. The renovations project was needed to create more space to serve growing numbers of patients in the hospital’s cancer program, they said.

The 292-bed community hospital also is renovating other areas of the Dickstein Cancer Treatment Center while constructing a 40,000-square-foot building for physician office space and patient consultations that will connect to Dickstein. The building is expected to open in 2015.

Posen Architects in White Plains designed the renovated cancer treatment center, including the new infusion center.
