I can’t say that having my name on a building is something that I ever thought about. In fact, even if I had the resources to make that happen, I don’t know how comfortable I would be. However, something did happen a couple of weeks ago that involved a name on a building and I (and everyone who has particpated in the PMC) was associated with; the dedication of the PMC Plaza. The PMC Plaza is the ”new” front door at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Yawkey Center.
This plaza is dedicated to the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC): to its cyclists, volunteers, and donors whose life-affirming efforts through the decades have provided critical support for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. *Tandem is a tribute to the indelible bond between the PMC and Dana-Farber and reflects the extraordinary impact when two vital organizations work in tandem.
(*Tandem is the name of the sculpture commisioned for the PMC Plaza)
The Yawkey Center was designed to help improve the patient experience – through warm, comfortable spaces, streamlined processes, and by facilitating the rapid translation of clinical research to clinical care.
