Local media including WLWT and the Cincinnati Business Courier highlighted the opening of research laboratories and the UC Osher Wellness Suite and Learning Kitchen at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center's Blood Cancer Healing Center.
Patients, physicians, wellness educators, survivors, researchers and learners are now all under the same roof where they can inspire each other daily. The addition of research and integrative health wellness services joins the building's clinical services, which have been in operation since July 2024.
The fourth floor of the building includes a new home for the LDDL and dedicated research spaces for industry partners and independent labs, fostering collaboration that aims to make research more efficient than ever before and bring life-saving treatments from the research bench to patients' bedsides faster.
The UC Osher Wellness Suite on the fifth floor is the only space of its kind in the region, offering personalized, hands-on well-being experiences in the John & Carrie Hayden Community Learning Kitchen, Mind-Body Spirit Wellness Studio and outdoor Rooftop Healing Garden.
"Modern medicine is at its best when it combines with traditional, tried and true approaches like lifestyle therapies and integrative health," said Sian Cotton, PhD, director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health at UC and professor and Turner Farm Foundation Chair in the Department of Family and Community Medicine in UC's College of Medicine, told WLWT. "To bring all of this together in one place is the future of good medicine and good health care."
