Diamond Children’s Medical Center in Tucson officially broke ground on Oct. 27 on construction of the Play Zone, a 7,000-square-foot therapeutic play, healing, recreation, and learning space for hospitalized children located just off the main lobby.

Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, Banner Health Foundation and Taylor Morrison, broke ground on eight homes in Gilbert as part of Banner MD Anderson’s Home Away from Home program. The cost of a place to stay can be a central concern for patients and their families who travel to Banner MD Anderson for their care, and these homes provide both housing and financial assistance to those patients who might need multiple days or weeks of daily treatment or extended hospitalization.
