Couric Cancer Center

Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center

The Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center offers convenient access to the full range of state-of-the-art cancer treatments – all in a warm, inviting and invigorating space designed for the needs of patients and their families.




My cousin, Emily Couric, envisioned a place where cancer patients would be treated with respect, where they could confront their disease with grace and dignity, and where they would be encouraged and sustained in their recovery. 
Before losing her own battle with pancreatic cancer, Emily invited the University to envision a cancer center that met the individual needs of each patient and that treated the whole person, not just the disease. In September 2006, the University of Virginia Board of Visitors approved the naming of the Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center, paying tribute to the late senator and her efforts to acquire new resources for cancer care and research in the Commonwealth.

Build the Future of Cancer Care... Brick by Brick

This is your opportunity to make a lasting statement of support for the future of cancer care in the Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center. The UVA Cancer Center's Build the Future of Cancer Care commemorative brick campaign provides a unique opportunity for you to support the Couric Center.

I ordered my brick in memory of my father who passed away July 2011.
It reads:
In Memory of
Robert Couric
by Connie June

The brick garden is located in the area above the sign "Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center" in the top picture (surrounded by the row of trees).
