The Olympic Medical Center Foundation presented $180,000 to OMC at its Commissioner’s meeting on Feb. 20, to go toward expansion of the Olympic Medical Center Cancer Center in Sequim.

The foundation has given more than $1.65 million to or (on behalf of) OMC in the last two years, including $1,032,000 towards the Cancer Center expansion.

“Counting pledges from donors, we have now raised almost $1.2 million towards the expansion,” OMC Executive Director Bruce Skinner said.

The foundation is continuing to generate additional money for the purchase of cancer center equipment.

“We hope that many local people will become a part of this fundraising effort,” Skinner said.

“It’s an opportunity for people to leave a lasting legacy, and 100 percent of the monies raised will go towards the project. There are also naming rights opportunities,” he said.

Persons who are interested in more information or in making a donation can call the OMC Foundation office at 360-417-7144, or email Skinner at bruce@omhf.org.
