Stoler Pavilion Streamlines Outpatient Cancer Care

The University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center's (UMGCC) state-of-the-art outpatient facility -- the 25,000-square-foot Roslyn and Leonard Stoler Pavilion -- is located just inside the main hospital lobby and provides a highly visible “home” for cancer center patients and families.

“The new Stoler Pavilion is designed to be very welcoming and patient-friendly,” says Kevin J. Cullen, M.D., UMGCC director. “It provides our patients with access to the cancer center’s comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment.”

The facility is named for Leonard Stoler, a Baltimore-area businessman who owns 13 auto dealerships, and his wife, Roslyn. The couple donated $5 million for the new outpatient treatment area.

The Stoler Pavilion houses all the major ambulatory services for the cancer center. This includes the multidisciplinary treatment programs, specialty-specific follow-up areas -- such as for medical oncology and bone marrow/stem cell transplantation -- and infusion therapy. It also provides support services such as social work, palliative care, nutrition counseling and patient education.

The center has 28 exam rooms, an infusion therapy area with 22 bays equipped with flat screen monitors and Internet access, three treatment rooms, a blood drawing room, conference rooms with videoconferencing capabilities, meeting rooms and a satellite pharmacy. Elevators link the new center directly to UMGCC's inpatient units and offices on the eighth and ninth floors of the medical center.

The clinical area is designed around a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating cancer patients. Exam rooms are clustered in pods with meeting rooms, where teams of doctors can discuss the best treatment options for patients. New patients see a surgeon, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist in one visit, without having to leave the outpatient center. The Stoler Pavilion provides a home base for patients to get their cancer treatment and follow-up care.

Radiation oncology remains nearby on the ground floor of the Gudelsky Building, only a short walk from the Stoler Pavilion.

The facility is a key part of a major expansion of the cancer center’s clinical and research facilities. Additional inpatient beds are being added to support the cancer center's growth. UMGCC is also undertaking a major expansion of its research laboratory space.

UMGCC treats 15,000 patients a year and is a nationally-recognized leader in all areas of cancer treatment and research. It has specialized programs for lung, head and neck, gastrointestinal, prostate, breast, blood and brain cancers and offers bone marrow and stem cell transplantation, as well as many other innovative drug and radiation treatments.
