Maggie's Centres
UK
The Maggie’s Centres foundation, dedicated to the memory of Maggie Keswick Jenks carries out a program of assistance to cancer victims, consisting of providing patients with maximum information on their pathology, lowering their level of stress and tension linked to the disease.
The Maggie’s Centres are housed in small pavilions, adjacent to hospitals specialized in treating tumours, and the building itself is considered one of the key elements for the success of the assistance provided. Pursuing a policy of high quality, the association has for some time now entrusted the design of the pavilions in to architects of contemporary architecture.
