Maggies Centres

 

The Maggie’s Centres Foundation, dedicated to the memory of Maggie Keswick Jenks, carries out a programme of assistance to cancer victims, which includes providing patients with maximum information on their pathology and lowering their level of stress and tension linked to the disease.

The Maggie’s Centres are housed in small pavilions, adjacent to hospitals specialised in treating tumours, and each building is considered one of the key elements for the success of the assistance provided.  Pursuing a policy of high quality, the Foundation has for some time now entrusted the design of the pavilions to architects of contemporary architecture.
