Distinguished Endowed Chair in Radiation Oncology ($1,000,000 minimum)
Distinguished Endowed Chairs hold tremendous prestige in the medical community. To hold a Chair means that you have achieved recognized excellence in your work as a clinician and/or researcher. Chairs are the premier recruiting tool used to secure senior level leaders with national reputations. It is highly competitive to recruit these leading clinicians/scientists. The ability to offer a Chair to a qualified individual puts us ahead of the competition. The ability to secure that individual opens the door to substantial benefits for the institution and the patients that we serve. Radiation Therapy Suite ($500,000)
Located on the first floor of the new Hollings Cancer Center, the Radiation Therapy Suite is a new facility built solely to support this critical treatment program. Hollings Cancer Center was committed to bringing radiation therapy from the main MUSC hospital into the Cancer Center to allow cancer patients to secure all of their treatment activities in one building. The Suite includes a large waiting room, dressing rooms, a treatment planning area, state-of-the-art technology and equipment, two linear accelerator treatment machines, and tomotherapy. Directorship in Radiation Oncology Research ($100,000 over)
Hollings Cancer Center is dedicated to achieving the goal of National Cancer Institute designation. Discoveries in the laboratory that lead to understanding cancer and result in new therapies for patients are a key component. In order to conduct cutting edge research that translates to effective diagnosis and treatment, funds are needed to award to promising researchers. An investment in radiation oncology research through a Directorship would enable Hollings Cancer Center to support a researcher for two years. This gift would allow the researcher to explore cutting edge areas in research in hopes of gathering the appropriate data that would lead to major federal funding opportunities. Keene M. Wallace Endowment Fund for Radiation Oncology (Any level gift)
In 1993, the Keene M. Wallace Fund was established in honor of the first chairman of the department of radiation oncology. Indeed, Wallace arrived at MUSC in 1967 and is credited with not only building the first modern radiation oncology department in South Carolina at MUSC, but also giving legitimacy to and expanding the profession in South Carolina. The Keene M. Wallace Fund supports the overall mission of the radiation oncology which includes patient care, education, and research. For more information, please contact Rachael D. Smith, Director of Development, at (843) 792- 7694 or smithrmd@musc.edu. Thank you for the opportunity to share our goals with you. |
