Mercy Medical Center announced Friday that it has received $4,038,550 in funding over three years from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to improve oncology care and increase access to clinical trials at its Leonard P. Nelson Family Cancer Treatment Center.

The funds will help integrate new linear acceleration technology. This therapy delivers high-energy x-rays or particles to a specific area. The funds will also improve Mercy's capacity to provide image guided gadiotherapy. The availability of these new technologies will lessen the time of treatment for patients and allow them to receive the highest quality of care closer to home, according to a press release from Mercy.
