SAMARITAN FOUNDATION
LAUNCHES CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY
EQUIPMENT
Lifesaving technology for women is about to get better
in Moses Lake. By the end of 2008, women will have access
to high-tech digital mammograms that provide greater
clarity.
Samaritan Foundation has established a capital campaign
to raise $418,806 to purchase Hologic Selenia Techmate
digital mammography equipment. The equipment will be
installed at Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake.
“The hospital foundation is extremely pleased
to be able to partner with Samaritan Healthcare to bring
digital mammography to the Columbia Basin,” states
Samaritan Healthcare Foundation Board President Mark
Roeber. “Breast cancer cuts across all social
and economic boundaries, and almost everyone you ask
knows someone whose life has been touched by this disease.
We feel an increased ability to detect breast cancer
at an early stage is very compelling since Washington
State ranks # 1 in the incident rate of breast cancer
per capita in the United States.”
