Thank you to all who supported Rooted in Community, the South Peninsula Hospital Foundation's event last weekend.
With your help we raised over $250,000 to support the purchase of a new mammography machine at South Peninsula Hospital, far exceeding our goal for the evening. From ticket buyers and donors, to sponsors and volunteers, it was a team effort to reach and exceed our goal. It was a beautiful room filled with generous donors, a cause that matters, fabulous food and a spectacular display by mother nature … it was truly an evening rooted in community.
MAKE A LASTING IMPACT
The proceeds from Rooted in Community will make a lasting impact in the lives of our community members through the purchase of a new, state-of-the-art mammography machine at South Peninsula Hospital.
1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer. With breast cancer, the data are unequivocal: early detection saves lives.
SPH's current mammography machine has provided more than 10,000 life-saving cancer screenings over more than a decade. And now it's time for it to retire.
The new machine will:
- Be AI-enabled, providing faster and lower-dose mammograms, and higher resolution images
- Be equipped to perform contrast-enhanced mammography, a critical modality to find hard-to-detect cancers
- Have special tools to evaluate breast density, which can affect cancer detection and risk
Help make a lasting impact on the health of your neighbors. Please consider making a donation to the South Peninsula Hospital Foundation.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
Proudly supported by businesses, organizations and community members who believe in the future of healthcare on the southern Kenai Peninsula.
