Sindelar Cancer Center Amenities
While you or your loved ones receive care at the Sindelar Cancer Center, enjoy access to a handful of special amenities including:
The Boutique
Our on-site boutique stocks gifts and accessories designed specifically for our cancer patients and their families.
The Chapel
Our chapel is a sacred space where patients, families, caregivers and friends can pray and reflect. Much of the furniture in the chapel was made from trees removed to make way for the cancer center. Mercy worked closely with Anew Nature, a local furniture company that teaches job skills to former felons, to build pieces from salvaged wood for the chapel.
The Comfortable Cup Café
Our café serves delicious food and beverages to patients and their family members.
The Conference Center
At 900 square feet, our conference center can support groups, host educational seminars and more.
