If you could name a brand new cancer center, what would you name it?
Question:
Answers:
"Hope Cancer Center"
Personally I would think something inspirational...
When you are diagnosed with cancer, as I am sure you have seen, is devastating and when you have to visit a center I am sure you don't want to walk into the cancer center. You don't need to be reminded that you have it constantly. You are reminded of that enough I am sure.
Where I don't have any suggestions at this time, I will think about it and see if I can't come up with something. I just believe something that doesn't represent the desease but something that could represent a beautiful future wheather it be in heaven or on earth.
Good Luck!!

Hope and Healing Cancer Center
If I were looking in the yellow pages, I might be drawn to these two names. As a cancer survivor though, I can say from experience that if your new cancer center staff practices compassion and professionalism, it can be called just about anything. Best wishes.
The name you suggested is nice. It wouldn't matter to me, they are all the same, look the same, smell the same. After a while you get used to it but the first time you walk in is scary. You're scared anyway, but that first impression stays with you. We still have a hard time walking into the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, and that's a nice place. It's just your fears are magnified and your heart breaks when you see people worse off than you, little children with no hair, it is difficult no matter what the name. I think you could focus on first impressions, before the name. A nice quiet garden outside, maybe a fountain, I think the centers need something to help take your mind off why you are there in the first place, they need to help focus you on your recovery, no matter what the outcome, and the easiest way to accept that your life is now totally changed...forever. I know because my life turned around and over 2 years ago when my 31 yr old husband was diagnosed with leukemia. We have 3 children. He may be the patient but my life changed drastically. These centers and the people that run them need to understand people are on edge, not they might be, they are. They are scared and they need reaasurance -not that everything will be ok- because it's not ok. But reassurance that they will do whatever is necessary to help the patient survive in the easiest way possible. To answer your question, there is no appealing name to me. But Hope & Healing sounds very promising. Good luck

I have brain cancer. I can tell you that if I were to go to your clinic and I saw the name, I would be filled with so much HOPE.
Good Luck!
