SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. ― The Regional West Foundation will host its annual fundraiser this year on Friday, Dec. 1 at 6 p.m.

All proceeds from the event will go toward a new linear accelerator for The Cancer Treatment Center at Regional West.

“Providing exceptional healthcare to the communities and people in our area is our top priority,” said John Massey, Regional West Foundation chair. “By donating to this year’s event, you are supporting projects to strengthen the healthcare services that are essential to the region.”

“For many cancer patients, radiation therapy, delivered by a linear accelerator, is a key part of treatment,” said Mark Hartman, MD, Regional West radiation oncologist. “Regional West’s new linear accelerator will combine state-of-the-art imaging, targeting, and treatment in one comprehensive system by pinpointing tumors and delivering highly focused treatments.”

“The Regional West Foundation fundraiser this year is a fun way to get together with other community members for a great cause,” said Jeanne McKerrigan, Regional West Foundation director of development. “We hope you’ll join us for hors d’oeuvres and drinks to kick off the holiday season.”

“We are so grateful to our sponsors for making the Regional West Foundation fundraiser possible,” added McKerrigan.
