Rock Row unveils medical campus : new cancer center at Rock Row provides uniquely comprehensive patient care
No full textNew England Cancer Specialists’ newly opened facility at Westbrook’s Rock Row is designed to treat all of a patient’s needs — physical, mental and emotional — in one location. By offering a full range of diagnostic tests, treatments and support services under one roof, the center aims to ease some of the anxiety of the cancer experience.
Mainebiz got a tour of the 71,000-square-foot facility in late February, with Claire Cote, the center’s chief operations officer. The high-ceilinged building is flooded with natural light. The design aesthetic is contemporary, yet warm. Walls and furnishings are soothing shades of blue, light grey and cream. Large windows offer views to the wooded areas that dot the property.
The Rock Row center currently has 11 doctors, with access to more through its affiliation with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Cote says patients can take advantage of the institute’s cutting-edge treatments, connect for second opinions and receive shared care with doctors at Rock Row and Dana-Farber’s specialists, without traveling to Boston.
Just upstairs from NECS, patients and caregivers can access counseling, exercise classes, massage and Reiki therapy, even acupuncture at the newest location for the Dempsey Center, all at no cost. Founded in 2008 in Lewiston by actor and Maine-native Patrick Dempsey in the wake of his mother’s cancer, the center had added a second location in South Portland
