Others have become heroes with their continuing support. Their combined generosity has helped thousands of people who are cancer survivors because of the treatment they received at the Sky Lakes facility. Sky Lakes Cancer Treatment Center’s care professionals provide both medical treatments and radiation treatments to Klamath-area cancer patients. A key tool they use for radiation treatments, a linear accelerator, is nearing the end of useful service. A campaign will officially launch in mid-June to raise funds to help the hospital purchase and install a new linear accelerator and a replacement CT scanner. The scanner is used to precisely locate the position of tumors that the linear accelerator will treat. “The current unit has served us very well for years,” says Brad Kramer, M.D., radiation oncologist at the treatment center. “We need to replace it, however, so cancer patients continue to receive the best care possible.” It will cost an estimated $4 million to purchase and install the devices, and the hospital leadership is relying on the generosity of the community to supplement the replacement’s budget.
