This care is made possible through the power of philanthropy and the compassion of neighbors who give. The generosity of our donors has already transformed cancer care in our community. Thanks to their support:

· Patients have access to lifesaving treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy without leaving Cowlitz County.

· Advanced radiation services are available without the burden of traveling long distances.

· Innovations such as SCOUT® technology at the Kearney Breast Center are giving patients more precise, less invasive treatment options.

And the impact of philanthropy continues to grow. Together, we are preparing to bring the next generation of technology to our region: the TrueBeam Linear Accelerator. This state-of-the-art system delivers faster and more precise radiation treatments while reducing side effects and improving comfort. 

Once in place, it will expand access for thousands of patients each year — ensuring they can receive world-class care right here in Cowlitz County.

This is the power of a community coming together to care for one another. Every gift reflects the dedication of neighbors who want the very best care available right here in our community. 

 Together, we are building a future where high-quality cancer care is always close to home.
