After over a year of planning, construction and fundraising, PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center officially cut the ribbon on the new True Beam Linear Accelerator in the radiation oncology department.

The new state-of-the-art True Beam Linear Accelerator enhances the team’s ability to manage complex cases involving tumors in hard-to-reach areas such as the brain, spine, lungs, breast and abdomen.
