PORT ANGELES — The Olympic Medical Center Foundation has presented another $141,504 in donations to Olympic Medical Center.
Foundation President Mary Hebert announced the donation at the OMC commission meeting Wednesday.
Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner said the donations will go towards a $60,000 cardiac stress test treadmill, a destabilization system for radiation oncology — which will be 50-75 percent more accurate than the current devices being used and should last another 5-7 years and a third printer that will eliminate outsourcing, which costs OMC $1,000 each time its used.
“So the device will end up paying for itself,” according to a press release.
The two cancer center donations total $81,504.
Skinner said the OMC Foundation has given $753,101 to, or on behalf of, OMC during the last year.
Those interested in more information or in making a donation can call the OMC Foundation office at 360-417-7144, or email bruce@omhf.org.
“We hope that many local people will become a part of our fundraising effort,” Hebert said.
“It’s an opportunity for people to leave a lasting legacy, and 100 percent of the monies raised will go towards Olympic Medical Center programs. There are also naming rights opportunities,” Skinner said.
