Knoxville Hospital & Clinics Recognizes the Marion County Community Foundation for their Contribution of $25,000 to the Bridging the Gap Campaign

Knoxville Hospital & Clinics proudly recognizes and extends the deepest gratitude to the Marion County Community Foundation for their generous grant contribution of $25,000 to the Bridging the Gap Campaign.

 

Gifts to the Bridging the Gap Campaign will help fund the South Central Iowa Radiation Center and support the partnership between Knoxville Hospital & Clinics and Pella Regional Health Center to bring radiation therapy closer to home for patients across the region. This gift represents more than financial support – it reflects belief in our mission, confidence in our collaboration, and compassion for the patients and families we serve.

 

“The Marion County Community Foundation has long been a champion of projects that strengthen Marion County, and we are honored to have their support of the Bridging the Gap Capital Campaign,” said Katrina Nelson, Knoxville Hospital & Clinics Director of Public Relations & Foundation. “Their generous grant contribution of $25,000 is an investment in the health and well-being of our friends and neighbors. We are deeply thankful for their partnership and their belief in the lasting impact this project will have on the communities we serve.”

 

The state-of-the-art radiation oncology center is expected to be completed in early 2027 and will significantly improve access to cancer care for residents of Marion County and surrounding communities, reducing the need for travel to distant treatment centers.

The South Central Iowa Radiation Center is projected to cost $14.3 million, with the majority of funding to be raised through the Bridging the Gap Campaign, led by the hospital foundations of Knoxville Hospital & Clinics and Pella Regional Health Center.
