Ruben Mesa shared following post by The Leon Levine Foundation, on Linkedin:

”We are so grateful for the incredible support of the The Leon Levine Foundation, the late Leon Levine and Sandra Levine for their tireless support the cancer patients of Charlotte, of Atrium Health Levine Cancer, and for helping bring the first Proton Beam center here to the Carolinas.”

Quoting The Leon Levine Foundation‘s post:

”Congratulations to Atrium Health on the recent grand opening of its Levine Cancer Proton and Advanced Radiation Center!

The center offers a range of cutting-edge radiation therapies in one place, including Gamma Knife radiosurgery and proton beam therapy. These highly precise treatments give patients with complex tumors more options for safe, effective care with limited side effects and improved quality of life.

We applaud these efforts that fit into our healthcare pillar, which champions improving access to quality local and regional healthcare programs that prolong and enhance people’s lives.
