Family Support & Facilities

Katz Garden

Friend and family support is essential to the overall well-being of a cancer patient, which means your comfort and convenience are important to Hall-Perrine Cancer Center, too. We didn't forget about you as we planned this new regional cancer center. In fact, we received input from the families of cancer patients, too. Here are a few of the offerings at our facility available to you as a support person:

  • Reading Areas
  • Meditation Spaces
  • Puzzle Room
  • Cyber Café with sandwiches, coffee and WiFi
