Missoula-based Montana Cancer Center at Providence St. Patrick Hospital — part of Renton, Wash.-based Providence health system — has received a $15,000 grant from the American Cancer Society to expand patient transportation and lodging services.
The grant is part of the American Cancer Society’s Patient Lodging Programs initiative.
“Because Montana is a rural state, some of our cancer patients must travel many miles to receive treatment,” Kirk Bodlovic, interim chief executive of Providence Montana, said in an April 14 news release. “This grant will help us provide fuel and hotel gift cards to those who need it.”
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
