Cancer Center Campaign

Closer to home. Closer to healing.

The Reality

Today, many patients in our community must leave Jackson to receive critical cancer treatment.

  • 84% of patients needing radiation therapy travel out of the area
  • Treatment often requires daily visits for weeks or months
  • Travel adds emotional, physical, and financial strain during an already difficult time

The Solution

St. John’s Health is planning a new cancer center that brings radiation oncology services to our community—ensuring patients can receive comprehensive care close to home, surrounded by the people and support systems they know.

A Philanthropic Opportunity

This project is intended to be fully funded through philanthropy—a first for St. John’s Health.

With unanimous Board support, St. John’s Health Foundation has established a $25 million fundraising goal, ensuring the project can move forward without incurring debt and be positioned for long-term success.

Early commitments from all Board members and staff reflect a meaningful commitment to this vision. As the campaign continues, community support will play a vital role in bringing life-saving cancer care closer to home while strengthening the independence of our local healthcare system.

When approximately 80% of commitments are secured, we will be positioned to move forward with the project, pending final approval by the St. John’s Health Board of Trustees.

Help bring cancer care closer to home. Call 307.739.7512, send us a message, or make a gift.
