Concept Art

Cold, sterile, white walls. A view from the window of the bricks of the adjacent building. The toy box  the "waiting room" full of used toys that have clearly seen better days. Sadly, this was the reality in many children's hospitals of the past.

Not anymore for many of the children of Northern, Eastern, & Central Maine needing life-saving pediatric oncology and hematology services. The Raish Peavey Haskell Children’s Cancer and Treatment Center was specifically designed to be open and welcoming, drawing on the input from patients and their families. The new design brings all of Eastern Maine Medical Center’s outpatient pediatric oncology and hematology services under one roof.

And, here is a sneak peek at what such a space can look like. This is the concept art for a couple of the walls of the new children's play room. These bright, cheery walls are full of hidden local wildlife to spy. These, along with a large glass wall overlooking soft green hills leading to the woods, inspire our littlest patients to play and use their imaginations instead of focusing on "procedures".


Your continuing support of the McDonald's Heroes Hope Healing Golf Classic makes this all possible.

We thank you for help.
