Cancer Patients Get Easier Access to Care Thanks to Grant

Redlands Community Hospital Foundation (RCHF) has received a $125,000 grant from Stater Bros. Charities and the Inland Women Fighting Cancer (IWFC) organization to improve access to care for local cancer patients. A check presentation was held Thursday, Aug. 27 at Redlands Community Hospital’s (RCH) Women’s Health Imaging Center. Stater Bros. Charities has supported the RCHF since 2011. It has selected the Women’s Health Imaging Center because of the increasing need for cancer screening in the Inland Empire. “Stater Bros. Charities supports the fight against all cancers in our communities,” said Jack H. Brown, Chairman and CEO of Stater Bros. Markets. “The funds raised through the annual Believe Walk support equipment purchases, programs and services for local cancer fighting organizations in the Southern California region. That’s why we are making a donation towards the purchase of radiotherapy equipment at Redlands Community Hospital.” The grant will support the hospital’s Women’s Health Imaging Center, a 3,300 square-foot facility that provides women with a warm, compassionate place to have mammograms, breast biopsies, bone density screening exams and other procedures. The center provides no-cost health education for women and allows patients to receive all necessary imaging services in one location. “We’re fortunate to receive this generous grant from Stater Bros. Charities and Inland Women Fighting Cancer,” said Jan Opdyke, president of the RCHF. “This grant will allow us to improve the Women’s Health Imaging Center and continue to provide our patients with access to quality care and services.” Stater Bros. Charities is a non-profit that supports the critical needs of the areas it serves. Every first Sunday in October, Stater Bros. Charities teams up with IWFC to host the Believe Walk, a community-based effort that attracts more than 12,000 participants each year. Funds raised from the event support local cancer centers and organizations in the Inland Empire. Since 2008, $2.5 million has been donated by Stater Bros. and IWFC to support the fight against cancer in Southern California. Redlands Community Hospital Foundation helps the hospital achieve its mission through raising funds to support infrastructure, clinical services and health promotion programs of the hospital.
