Linear Accelerator and PET Scanner Blessings

Thanks to philanthropic support, the medical center was able to acquire a fully digital GE Discovery™ Mi Gen 2 PET/CT scanner and the latest Varian TrueBeam® Linear Accelerator 3.0. These devices offer enhanced capabilities including faster and more detailed images, allowing caregivers to target and treat cancer with greater precision and efficiency.

A Feel-Good Fitness Story

Buena Park Police Department Goes Pink

Our friends at the Buena Park Police Department (BPPD) presented a check for $3,500 to support patients of our Kathryn T. McCarty Breast Center.

Titans Give Back

As part of their inaugural “Titans Give Back” day of service, students from Cal State Fullerton painted a mural, entitled Turtle Troop, for our Centers for Rehabilitation and Wellness. The mural can be found within the Outpatient Pediatric Rehabilitation waiting room and represents the commitment of our local community partners.
