Knoxville Hospital & Clinics proudly recognizes and extends the deepest gratitude to the Knoxville Community Foundation for their generous grant contribution of $25,000 to the Bridging the Gap Campaign.
Gifts to the Bridging the Gap Campaign will help fund the South Central Iowa Radiation Center and support the partnership between Knoxville Hospital & Clinics and Pella Regional Health Center to bring radiation therapy closer to home for patients across the region. This gift represents more than financial support – it reflects belief in our mission, confidence in our collaboration, and compassion for the patients and families we serve.
“At the Knoxville Community Foundation, we believe in investing in projects that create a lasting impact for our community. The South Central Iowa Radiation Center will make a meaningful difference for local families by bringing lifesaving cancer treatment closer to home. We are honored to contribute to this important project and grateful to be part of an effort that will improve access to high-quality healthcare for generations to come,” said Aaron Fuller, President, Knoxville Community Foundation.
The state-of-the-art radiation oncology center is expected to be completed in early 2027 and will significantly improve access to cancer care for residents of Marion County and surrounding communities, reducing the need for travel to distant treatment centers.
The 7,800-square-foot facility will house advanced diagnostic and treatment technology, including:
- A linear accelerator to deliver highly precise radiation treatments.
- A PET/CT scanner which plays a critical role in diagnosing cancer and determining the most effective course of treatment.
“The support of the Knoxville Community Foundation for this project means so much to us. Their investment demonstrates a shared commitment to expanding access to advanced cancer close to home and recognizes the meaningful, long-term impact this project will have on our patients, families, and communities. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and partnership in helping make this vision a reality,” said Kevin Kincaid, CEO, Knoxville Hospital & Clinics.
The South Central Iowa Radiation Center is projected to cost $14.3 million, with the majority of funding to be raised through the Bridging the Gap Campaign, led by the hospital foundations of Knoxville Hospital & Clinics and Pella Regional Health Center.
