Advancing Cancer Care and Breaking Barriers

2/3/2023

 
Picture
Tomorrow, February 4th, is World Cancer Day. TGB is dedicated to healthcare architecture, and we stand with survivors, fighters, and the loved ones of those who have passed from cancer. Cancer has had many advances in treatment and the earlier it is identified the higher the chances of survival. With the technology advancements, cancer is still the second leading cause of deaths in the United States in 2020 according to the CDC. A large part of this is due to disparities in treatment and overall awareness of cancer and preventative care.

As an architecture firm that creates healing spaces for cancer patients and families, we listen to understand the changing technology, community needs, and environmental factors that affect patients' health. TGB understands that healthcare should reflect the community it serves, and we seek out healthcare organizations that structure their system to meet the needs of minorities that are underserved.
