Ribbon cutting at Jennie Ed for Linear Accelerator

Southwest Iowa cancer patients are keeping Methodist Jennie Edmundson Cancer Center’s new linear accelerator busy providing radiation therapy.

We treat an average of 16 patients a day, so we never really stop treating,” said Michelle Kaufman, director of oncology services at the Council Bluffs hospital.

Jennie President and CEO Steve Baumert thanked donors for their support during a ribbon cutting Wednesday for the “state-of-the-art” machine.
