OMC Foundation contributes more to cancer center

PORT ANGELES — The Olympic Medical Center Foundation has added another $180,000 to the amount it has raised for the hospital.

The funds, presented to the Olympic Medical Center commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting, will go toward the expansion of the OMC Cancer Center in Sequim.

The foundation has given over $1.65 million to or on behalf of OMC in the last two years, including $1,032,000 toward the cancer center expansion.

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

The foundation is continuing to generate additional money for the purchase of Cancer Center equipment.

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 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 added.
