Advanced cancer treatment center coming to Greeneville Community Hospital
A $1 million donation from Scott Niswonger and his family will bring an advanced cancer treatment center and new technology to the Greeneville Community Hospital. Ballad Health announced that it will name the upcoming center the Niswonger Family Radiation Treatment Center. According to Ballad, the investment will help facilitate a TrueBeam linear accelerator and Ethos adaptive radiotherapy system to enhance radiation treatments, keeping families from having to travel out of the Tri-Cities. The donation comes around two months after Ballad Health announced a major expansion of its cancer care in Johnson City, which includes additional exam rooms, physician offices and two chemotherapy wings with private rooms.
