My mom is receiving cancer treatments at University Hospitals Ireland Cancer Center located in Cleveland, Ohio. I prayed for the best medical treatment that would best suit my mom. Indeed, she received good care from her previous doctors and hospitals, yet it seemed time to try something different. My mom has received a huge blessing in the form of life saving treatment. Indeed, hope is in the air at the Ireland Cancer Center and at the near-by Hope Lodge (sponsored by the American Cancer Society). I am a caregiver with hopes that mom will be rescued from the cancer.
I provide a brief tribute to the University Hospitals Ireland Cancer Center with a few excerpts from the Ireland Cancer Center website. University Hospitals Ireland Cancer Center, part of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, is dedicated to innovative treatment and promising research in the fight against cancer through ongoing studies aimed at cancer treatment and prevention. One of only 39 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Ireland can offer cutting-edge treatments earlier than most other cancer centers. Our affiliation with Case Western Reserve University provides ongoing studies aimed at cancer treatment and prevention. Patients receive skilled care through our multidisciplinary team approach. Experts in surgery, medical oncology, radiation therapy, pathology, nursing, social work and psychology work together to create a personalized treatment plan that meets physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Patients also benefit from more than 300 clinical trials, many of them featuring new drugs developed by our own clinician-scientists. Ireland is one of only eight cancer centers in the country to have access to a pipeline of new drugs through the NCI for early phase clinical trials. Recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 25 hospitals for cancer care in the country, the mission of Ireland Cancer Center is simple: to cure cancer.

We are blessed to stay at the Hope Lodge near the University Hospitals. I provide a tribute to the wonderful people associated with the Hoped Lodge. It is terrific. The Joseph S. & Jeannette M. Silber Hope Lodge is a unique home away from home for people who need temporary, comfortable, supportive accommodations offered free of charge during cancer treatment. For its guests, Hope Lodge offers a private bedroom/bathroom suite and shared kitchen, library, dining room, living room, and surrounding gardens.
