A Partnership with the Community

United General Hospital Foundation has committed to raising $500,000 to purchase a new digital mammography system for the diagnostic imaging department at United General Hospital.

  
2nd Annual Car Raffle Helps with Cancer Prevention

This year's vehicle is a 2008 Ford Mustang GT Premium that will go to the lucky winner of the Foundation's raffle.

Funds from the Raffle and other activities will be used to pay for the digital mammography equipment in United's Breast Care Suite. We know that early detection is critical to improving overall survival rates for breast and other cancers. This advanced technology makes it possible to detect cancer earlier than the traditional film method. The new digital equipment creates precise images that can be transmitted via the internet to patients' physicians, or to facilities such as the University of Washington for interpretation.

With the purchase of digital mammography equipment the Breast Care Center at United General Hospital is equipped with the most advanced technology for detection of breast cancer.

It is the goal of the United General Hospital Foundation to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. We would be extremely thankful for your visionary support of breast cancer treatment.

For more information on cancer prevention or the fundraising campaign, please contact Ellen Johnson at 856-7315 or by email at ellen.johnson@unitedgeneral.org

The Mustang Raffle tickets are available for $10 each, and can be purchased at North Cascade Ford, the United General Hospital Gift Shop, or from any United General Hospital Foundation Board member. Drawing will be held September 13, 2008, at Skagit Speedway

Congratulations to last year's winner, Mike Buzzard of Mount Vernon, lucky winner of a brand new 2007 Ford Mustang convertible. Mike held winning ticket number 01125.
