Even before the new additions were dedicated in

1969 plans were being drawn up for new hospital

and clinic facilities A hospital pavilion that would double the 300 beds of the institution and a clinic

that would accommodate 1200 outpatients daily

were the major items In addition radiotherapy was

to be doubled in size two floors were to be added

on top of the existing building for more research space and the possibility of Andersons first chapel was in the works

Like everything else all this was going to cost

money - $70 million But with a lot of help from a lot of friends the plans became a reality In January 1973 ground was broken for the hospital and c linic buildings Then in August of the next year

construction on the chapel began

The Lutheran Hospital Pavilion is 14 floors of innovation and exacting design centered on one

thing - providing the best care in the world for the hospitalized cancer patient All patient rooms are

private each with its own bath and all kinds of little extras like large windows and a swinging console for

radi 0 and television control from the bed With the rooms arranged in a triangle around a centralized

nursing station nurses are just a few steps away from

each patient Each of the nursing stations is equipped

to monitor every patient around it and even has sin ks wi th faucets activated by electric eyes so

doctors and nurses dont have to touch any handles when washing up

Andersons physicians have been seeing more than

700 outpatients daily in a clinic designed to handle

300 Needless to say it has been overcrowded The new Clinic Building accommodates 1200 patients daily and still allows each to receive the personalized

individual attention Anderson is noted for Here too everything has been designed with the patient in mind Indicative are the simplified signs such as Heart and Lung Station instead of Cardiopulmonary Laboratory

M D Anderson ushered in modern radiotherapy with the development of the Cobalt-60 Unit and

remai ns at the forefront in use of radiation for treatment The expanded Radiotherapy Center not

only allows 200-300 patients to be treated daily but

provides excellent facilities for the training of

radiotherapists SI ightly more than 700 radiotherapists are practicing in the U S today

while three times that many are needed

The institution has an international reputation for its diversified and expanding program in basic and

clinica l research More than 350 different research

projects are underway in Andersons laboratories

The research space in the two new floors includes

special laboratories representing the most sophisticated equipment ever available

A patient often needs a place to get away a place to think quietly or talk with his family or clergyman

The Interdenominational M D Anderson - Lutheran

Chapel provides such a place a true sanctu ary

physically separated from the unfamiliar hospital

atmosphere

The importance of the 330-bed hospital clinic building radiotherapy center laboratory and research

space and chapel is evident when one real izes that when Anderson was established only one in five

persons treated for cancer was al ive five years later Today Andersons physicians can cure 35 to 40 per

cent of the patients treated at Anderson M D Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute

will soon be treating 12 per cent of all Texans with

cancer and will be one of the worlds largest comprehensive cancer centers The institutions

commitment and obligation is not just to the state

but to the nation and the world

Even before the new additions were dedicated in

and clinic facilities A hospital pavilion that would double the 300 beds of the institution and a clinic

that would accommodate 1200 outpatients daily

were the major items In addition radiotherapy was

to be doubled in size two floors were to be added

on top of the existing building for more research space and the possibility of Andersons first chapel was in the works

Like everything else all this was going to cost

money - $70 million But with a lot of help from a lot of friends the plans became a reality In January 1973 ground was broken for the hospital and c linic buildings Then in August of the next year

construction on the chapel began

The Lutheran Hospital Pavilion is 14 floors of innovation and exacting design centered on one

thing - providing the best care in the world for the hospitalized cancer patient All patient rooms are

private each with its own bath and all kinds of little extras like large windows and a swinging console for

radi 0 and television control from the bed With the rooms arranged in a triangle around a centralized

nursing station nurses are just a few steps away from

each patient Each of the nursing stations is equipped

to monitor every patient around it and even has sin ks wi th faucets activated by electric eyes so

doctors and nurses dont have to touch any handles when washing up

Andersons physicians have been seeing more than

700 outpatients daily in a clinic designed to handle

300 Needless to say it has been overcrowded The new Clinic Building accommodates 1200 patients daily and still allows each to receive the personalized

individual attention Anderson is noted for Here too everything has been designed with the patient in mind Indicative are the simplified signs such as Heart and Lung Station instead of Cardiopulmonary Laboratory

M D Anderson ushered in modern radiotherapy with the development of the Cobalt-60 Unit and

remai ns at the forefront in use of radiation for treatment The expanded Radiotherapy Center not

only allows 200-300 patients to be treated daily but

provides excellent facilities for the training of

radiotherapists SI ightly more than 700 radiotherapists are practicing in the U S today

while three times that many are needed

The institution has an international reputation for its diversified and expanding program in basic and

clinica l research More than 350 different research

projects are underway in Andersons laboratories

The research space in the two new floors includes

special laboratories representing the most sophisticated equipment ever available

A patient often needs a place to get away a place to think quietly or talk with his family or clergyman

The Interdenominational M D Anderson - Lutheran

Chapel provides such a place a true sanctu ary

atmosphere

Even before the new additions were dedicated in

1969 plans were being drawn up for new hospital

and clinic facilities A hospital pavilion that would double the 300 beds of the institution and a clinic

that would accommodate 1200 outpatients daily

were the major items In addition radiotherapy was

to be doubled in size two floors were to be added

on top of the existing building for more research space and the possibility of Andersons first chapel was in the works

Like everything else all this was going to cost

money - $70 million But with a lot of help from a lot of friends the plans became a reality In January 1973 ground was broken for the hospital and c linic buildings Then in August of the next year

construction on the chapel began

The Lutheran Hospital Pavilion is 14 floors of innovation and exacting design centered on one

thing - providing the best care in the world for the hospitalized cancer patient All patient rooms are

private each with its own bath and all kinds of little extras like large windows and a swinging console for

radi 0 and television control from the bed With the rooms arranged in a triangle around a centralized

nursing station nurses are just a few steps away from

each patient Each of the nursing stations is equipped

to monitor every patient around it and even has sin ks wi th faucets activated by electric eyes so

doctors and nurses dont have to touch any handles when washing up

Andersons physicians have been seeing more than

700 outpatients daily in a clinic designed to handle

300 Needless to say it has been overcrowded The new Clinic Building accommodates 1200 patients daily and still allows each to receive the personalized

individual attention Anderson is noted for Here too everything has been designed with the patient in mind Indicative are the simplified signs such as Heart and Lung Station instead of Cardiopulmonary Laboratory

M D Anderson ushered in modern radiotherapy with the development of the Cobalt-60 Unit and

remai ns at the forefront in use of radiation for treatment The expanded Radiotherapy Center not

only allows 200-300 patients to be treated daily but

provides excellent facilities for the training of

radiotherapists SI ightly more than 700 radiotherapists are practicing in the U S today

while three times that many are needed

The institution has an international reputation for its diversified and expanding program in basic and

clinica l research More than 350 different research

projects are underway in Andersons laboratories

The research space in the two new floors includes

special laboratories representing the most sophisticated equipment ever available

A patient often needs a place to get away a place to think quietly or talk with his family or clergyman

The Interdenominational M D Anderson - Lutheran

Chapel provides such a place a true sanctu ary

physically separated from the unfamiliar hospital

atmosphere

The importance of the 330-bed hospital clinic building radiotherapy center laboratory and research

space and chapel is evident when one real izes that when Anderson was established only one in five

persons treated for cancer was al ive five years later Today Andersons physicians can cure 35 to 40 per

cent of the patients treated at Anderson M D Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute

will soon be treating 12 per cent of all Texans with

cancer and will be one of the worlds largest comprehensive cancer centers The institutions

commitment and obligation is not just to the state

but to the nation and the world
