Southwest Virginia Regional Cancer CenterAs part of their care, cancer patients often have to receive multiple, frequent treatments in the form of radiation or chemotherapy. These procedures often last only 15 minutes, but at one time patients in southwest Virginia had to drive an hour or more to receive each treatment. Cancer treatments such as these are often required every day for several weeks and leave the patient weakened, expanding the burden of travel to include family and friends. The Southwest Virginia Regional Cancer Center, located in Norton, Virginia, was originally constructed in 1995 to serve cancer patients in the region. Access to the Center and consultation with its cancer specialists gave family physicians the tools they needed to help their patients. The need for these services has outgrown the current building and a new, larger facility is desperately needed. Your donation to Lonesome Pine Hospital’s Southwest Virginia Regional Cancer Center will help support and expand this important service. Give online to this fund. Hospice CareWhen Bristol Regional Medical Center’s Hospice House opened its doors in 1996 it totally changed the face of hospice care in the region by offering a level of dignity and care at death that only an inpatient hospice house can provide. It is an accomplishment we all can be very proud of because community donations helped build it. Hospice care is rooted in key principles such as the affirmation of dying as a normal process, integration of spiritual, emotional, and psychological aspects of care for both patient and family, and focusing on relief of pain and preservation of dignity as intrinsic goals. Palliative care is a more recent extension of this care concept which serves patients with long-term, often terminal, illnesses which cannot expect to be cured. Palliative care patients face much of the same challenges of hospice patients but over a longer, less intense period of time. Wellmont Hospice has excelled in providing hospice and palliative care to the patients in our region, but there is still much more to be done. Your gift to support Wellmont Hospice Care will help maintain and grow this special area of service.
