LEWISTOWN — Pennsylvania Pink Zone recently presented a $40,000 check to Geisinger Lewistown Hospital as part of its effort to help with improving breast cancer awareness and treatments in the community.
Geisinger Lewistown Hospital is using the funds to purchase a blanket warmer for its CT/Simulation Room to keep patients more comfortable , as well as an air compressor pump which will aid in the creation and adjustment of immobilization equipment used for treatment. These funds also will be used for breast cancer educational and awareness programs and upgrading of the Breast Care Center at Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital.
Through the support of sponsors and donors and fundraising efforts from many of its beneficiaries, the Pennsylvania Pink Zone has distributed more than $1 million in nine years to support education, research and treatment in the field of breast cancer.
