Methodist Infusion Center Remodel

An idea that started over three years ago is now a reality.  The Infusion Therapy Center at the Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center is now fully remodeled.  MCL Construction completed the work in December and patients have noticed.
 
"We are really excited about the final outcome," said Patty Bauer, Service Executive of Oncology Services at Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center.  "We really wanted a place that was warm and inviting for our patients."
 
Gone are the pink walls, the laminate countertop at the nurse's station, and the old carpet.  The Infusion Therapy Center is painted with brighter colors, the nurse's station has a solid surface top, and the floor is medical grade vinyl that gives the appearance of a hardwood floor.
 
"When I started, I really didn't know the difference, it's just how it was," said Amy Hartigan, a registered nurse at the Infusion Therapy Center.  "The new colors and the remodel brings a whole new attitude to the Infusion Center, to the patients, and the staff."
 
The project was made possible by the generous contributors to Scare Away Cancer. The annual event organized by the employees of MCL Construction raised money for the remodel for two years and contributed $80,000 to the Methodist Hospital Foundation to make construction possible.
 
"Scare Away Cancer is an awesome event," said Bauer. "It's amazing to be around people who have so much compassion for people they have never met before.  It's evident that the people who participate and donate are very genuine."
 
Scare Away Cancer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  Since 2010, the Halloween-themed event has raised over $500,000 for cancer patients and programs in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. Scare Away Cancer is a 100% volunteer organization by the employees of MCL Construction.  The 2017 event will be held at Anthony's Steakhouse on October 28.
