The new cancer hospital provides the very best cancer care available, brings together some of the nation’s best minds to develop new methods to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and attracts additional high-level talent to Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Some of Smilow’s special features include a roof-top healing garden on the seventh floor – an outdoor garden, complete with trees, shrubs, plants, a small stream, benches and lovely views of New Haven. Smilow has a magnificent two-story glass lobby with a terrazzo floor, a granite waterwall, terracotta walls and maple woodwork. A special boutique will help patients look and feel better, despite their illness.
The building is named after Yale alumnus Joel E. Smilow (Yale College, ’54), former chair, chief executive officer and president of Playtex Products, Inc. He and his wife, Joan, gave a major gift to support the cancer hospital.
