Maggie's Cancer Caring Centers are a network of drop-in centers with
locations in Great Britain, Hong Kong and Barcelona, which aim to help
anyone who has been affected by cancer. They are not intended as a replacement
for conventional cancer therapy, but as a caring environment that can
provide support, information and practical advice.The centers were founded
by and named after the late Maggie Keswick Jencks, who died of cancer
in 1995. Like her husband, architectural writer and critic Charles Jencks,
she believed in the ability of buildings to uplift people. The buildings
provide a wonderful sanctuary and place of healing, where patients can
get away from the hospital setting and immerse themselves in unique and
beautiful architecture and feel a sense of ease and comfort. |
