Dry July has funded a number of items for this facility including a dishwasher, fridge, comfortable couch and artwork decorating the walls. 

Some feedback:

• Numerous patients have commented on how beautiful and tasteful the artwork is.

• Having a dishwasher and fridge in our own area has been really helpful as the Cancer Society volunteers and staff use these facilities every day for patient care.

• The couch is a comfortable place for patient and visitors to wait and relax
