Lighting the Way

“Hope Is Here” Shines Above Future Fox Cancer Center

Illuminated signs carry messages from the Texas Tech Health El Paso community.

A message of hope now shines above the future Steve and Nancy Fox Cancer Center.

Members of the Texas Tech Health El Paso community gathered July 10 to sign the “Hope Is Here” letters before they were installed on a tower crane at the cancer center construction site. They filled the letters with signatures and messages honoring cancer survivors, caregivers, loved ones and others whose lives have been touched by cancer.

Hensel Phelps crews installed the letters over the following week. On July 17, the signs were illuminated above the campus and El Paso skyline — a visible symbol of the promise behind the future cancer center.

As construction progresses, each new milestone brings the region closer to expanded access to advanced cancer care, groundbreaking research and compassionate treatment close to home.
