The Comprehensive Cancer Center at Pardee Hospital
As per the Bylaws, the Kenmure Fights Cancer Board of Directors voted that 50% of the funds raised in the year 2017 be donated to the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Pardee Hospital.
The mission of the Cancer Center at Pardee is to support the National Cancer Institute goal to ultimately eliminate suffering and death due to cancer in Henderson County and the western region of North Carolina. The core values of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Pardee are:
- Service to the community through education and prevention
- Compassionate care to patients and families
- Commitment to quality
- Best in research and technology
This is the 11th year that our funds have assisted cancer patients at Pardee. During this period, Kenmure Fights Cancer has raised almost $270,000 for this worthwhile organization. More...
Use of 2019 funds:
Pardee has identified certain geographic areas that have a high rate of Stage 4 Breast Cancer.
- Since early detection depends on education, availability and the funds to make it happen, certain populations don’t get treated early enough.
- In order to reach them, Pardee is planning to establish a bus that will go into these areas and offer free exams.
