Jennie Ed Unveils Vault for New Linear Accelerator

The Methodist Jennie Edmundson Cancer Center held a reception this week for major donors to its $5 million capital campaign for a new linear accelerator.

The event celebrated the near-completion of the vault that will contain the equipment for delivering more precise radiation therapy.

“I want to thank you for making this project happen,” Steve Baumert, president and CEO of Methodist Jennie Edmundson, told donors gathered in the vault. “You all have been very generous.”

Reporter Tim Johnson shared more insight into the project in this Daily Nonpareill feature.
