St Mary Medical Center seeks new linear accelerator
St Mary Medical Center has filed for permission to construct a 1x megavolt linear accelerator for radiation therapy to improve care and reduce treatment time. The project, costing about 766 600 dollars, is supported by local hospitals, the American Cancer Society, and the Chamber of Commerce. The hospital will donate 250 000 dollars, with the rest from donations to fund the radiation therapy service. The clinic does not seek federal funds and aims to maintain current radiation charges initially, with potential future reductions if activity rises. A certificate of need is being sought from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development to avoid duplicating local capacity.
