The fight against Breast Cancer has a new ally in Clark County. The Southwest Washington Medical Center unveils the Kearney Breast Center today.
GNPDX spoke with Ken Cole at the center and he says there are two key factors they wanted when they set about building the 12,000 sq ft facility:
Top of the line equipment. Check. One of their machines is so state of the art, the FDA hasn’t even finished the approval process (don’t worry, they won’t use it until it gets the formal thumbs up).
Soothing atmosphere. Check. Cole says they put in great attention to make sure the facility would ease anxiety that comes with treatment.
And if you’re wondering what the community thinks, you can ask the 1,000 people who helped raise $4 million to get the doors open. Talk about grassroots.
The Kearney Center is open to anyone in the area, Oregon and Washington, and is designed to serve a woman’s needs for an entire lifetime. For more info, go here.
