The nearly one million-square-foot tower will offer an array of re-imagined indoor and outdoor areas.
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, has received a gift of $100 million from entrepreneur, philanthropist and Bostonian, Herb Chambers in support of a new state-of-the-art building designed to meet the growing demand for world-class cancer care. The new facility — which will offer integrated, patient-centered care and streamline the healthcare journey for patients and their families from prevention and early detection to treatment and survivorship — will support new initiatives and innovations, redefine treatment, enhance patient care and aid with family members.
In recognition of this visionary gift, MGH will name the East Tower of the Phillip and Susan Ragon Building the Herb Chambers Tower in honor of the Dorchester native. In addition to housing cancer care services and spaces dedicated to the latest treatments, tools, and technologies, the nearly one million-square foot Herb Chambers Tower will offer an array of re-imagined indoor and outdoor areas. Patients will have access to a nearly 8,000-square-foot rooftop garden with expansive views of Beacon Hill and a new Center for Urgent Cancer Care that will provide 24/7 highly specialized care for cancer patients. The tower is slated to be complete in 2027.
Care spaces in the Herb Chambers Tower were designed in partnership with patients, family members, and caregivers and will include 228 acute care inpatient beds and 32 intensive care unit (ICU) beds.
