| Close to the financial districts, the spacious 3,200 square feet centre sits in The Center on Queen's Road. Cancer Fund's second support centre is designed as a warm, homey sanctuary, featuring four private rooms including treatment rooms and counselling rooms. Sophisticated audio and video system is an integral part of the overall design to not only create a peaceful ambience, but also to provide practical usage during group activities and for education purposes. The aim is to create a positive environment where people would feel at ease, get information on what they need to know, and develop their inner strength to cope and live with cancer. |

| Innovation and light-heartedness are the key components of the overall design, which incorporates a lobby lounge with comfortable seating grouped around small tables and relaxing sofas on the side. Internet connections allow convenient access to online cancer information. Warm lighting and soft background music add further touches to the overall setting, making it welcoming to even the most wary mind. Operation hours are extended into the night to better suit the needs of those who are working. |

| The team behind CancerLink Central is made up of professional oncology nurses, counselors, social workers, art therapists and volunteers, who listen and understand the concern of people with cancer. Anyone is welcome to drop in to discuss treatment, side-effects or any other worries that may affect their quality of life and emotions. A detail assessment would be conducted on each individual visitor to ensure proper follow-up and referral. |
