Dr. Jeffrey Drebin provides an overview of the proposed Pavilion, its facilities, and its purpose in addressing the growing cancer care needs in New York.
- The Pavilion is an extension of the existing hospital, not a freestanding facility
- It will include 28 new operating and procedural rooms, over 200 individual patient rooms, and more ICU beds
- The building is designed to meet the minimum requirements for future cancer care needs, with no extraneous spaces

Thanks, Liz.
0:42:21
So Liz has sort of mentioned why we need the pavilion.
0:42:23
Let me tell you what the pavilion is and if I could have the next slide, please.
0:42:27
The pavilion is not a freestanding hospital.
0:42:30
It's not a completely independent facility.
0:42:32
It's an extension of our existing hospital.
0:42:36
It is tall, but it's rather shallow because of existing space constraints.
0:42:40
And it's designed to serve the patients we know are going to need in our care in the coming years.
0:42:47
I should emphasize this isn't a goal to to capture the cancer market in New York.
0:42:53
Quite the opposite.
0:42:54
This is to enable us to grow our care capacity by 50%, which every cancer institution is gonna have to do because the reality is we're gonna be seeing a lot more cancer.
0:43:05
The Pavilion has a lot of operating rooms.
0:43:08
It has patient beds.
0:43:09
It has some facilities specific to the treatment of those patients.
0:43:13
It has no offices.
0:43:14
It has no outpatient infusion or treatment centers.
0:43:18
It doesn't even have a flower shop.
0:43:20
It is entirely devoted to the care of our cancer patients, and the design was really made not by saying what's the biggest building we could build.
0:43:30
Quite the opposite.
0:43:30
We said, what's gonna happen to cancer?
0:43:32
How does that reflect on our share of the cancer market and what's that going to require us to be able to provide in the coming decades.
0:43:41
And the pavilion therefore has this plan for 28 new operating and procedural rooms over 200 individual patient rooms, including more ICU beds.
0:43:52
And this is just a picture you can see of a very crowded operating room.
0:43:56
The technology we have in the operating rooms these days includes surgical robots, which are both tall and wide, require visualization panels.
0:44:06
There is no robot in this building that little arch you see in the corner is a c arm radiology instrument.
0:44:12
That's one of the smallest ones we have, and you can see that The amount of instruments, the amount of equipment we have in operating rooms requires more space.
0:44:23
And as we anticipate even more complex surgeries in the decades to come, that will become even more critical.
0:44:30
So again, to the issue of of height has has been brought up.
0:44:35
The reality is we need every inch of this building to meet the growing demands for cancer care that we're staring down.
0:44:41
The building was not designed to be the biggest building we could possibly design.
0:44:47
It was really the minimum of what we could build to care for the patients who we know are going to both need and deserve our care incoming decades.
0:44:59
If we could, we would actually build a bigger building.
0:45:02
But this is sort of a minimum number that we think we will be able to meet the cancer needs of the New York community And to tell you a little bit more, I want to transition to Rob Masters from Cannon Design.
