When the Dickstein Cancer Treatment Center
opened its doors nearly 20 years ago, it heralded
a new era in cancer care in Westchester County,
serving as the only freestanding building
dedicated to cancer treatment at that time.
This year, another era began when the White
Plains Hospital Center for Cancer Care opened,
increasing the space for outpatient cancer care to
70,000 square feet, providing patients with access
to multiple cancer specialists all under one roof.
A visit to the center feels like entering a serene
hotel, with special areas specifically designed for
comfort and respite. In the lobby, you will find:
• Warm tones and soft, innovative lighting
• Private areas for work, rest, or meeting with
family members and friends
• A grab-and-go café featuring healthy foods
and snacks
• A glass façade that permits natural light to
flow into the center
Enhanced Treatment Space: The new facility
includes the Dickstein Cancer Treatment Center,
which features the Lowenthal Infusion Pavilion on
floors two and three and the radiation treatment
center on the lower level. A total of 34 infusion
bays now include personal televisions and allow for
individual control of light, sound, and temperature.
There are communal areas in the infusion suites
for patients who prefer to socialize during their
treatment, as well as individual areas for those
who desire a more private setting. Electrical outlets
and USB ports for charging mobile devices abound
throughout the center, enabling patients and visitors
to stay connected with the rest of their lives during
their time with us.
