Atrium Health Levine Cancer Proton and Advanced Radiation Center will soon be the first and only site in the Carolinas to offer proton beam therapy

Atrium Health Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Atrium Health Levine Cancer Proton and Advanced Radiation Center will soon be the first and only site in the Carolinas to offer proton beam therapy. This cutting-edge treatment precisely targets tumors while preserving healthy tissue, marking a major leap forward in cancer care.

The milestone is made possible by a transformational gift made in 2023 by Sandra and Leon Levine, through The Leon Levine Foundation, and continued philanthropic investments from our community.

“Many of our donors have helped lead us to where we are today, and it goes without saying that the late Leon Levine has left a legacy here,” remarked Ken Haynes, president of the Southeast Region of Advocate Health, at a private celebration yesterday.

This is an exciting and monumental day for our cancer service line, and we are extremely grateful for our world-class clinical staff and generous community supporters who made today possible.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to deliver this groundbreaking therapy to our community. Together, we’re advancing the fight against cancer.”
