Kahlert Foundation donates $2.5M to Carroll Hospital for advanced cancer-fighting tech

The Kahlert Foundation is granting $2.5 million to the Carroll Hospital Foundation for the purchase of a linear accelerator for the William E. Kahlert Regional Cancer Center at Carroll Hospital, a device that aims radiation at cancer tumors and spares nearby healthy tissue. David Perry, M.D., chair of radiation oncology for LifeBridge Health, said he is encouraged by the benefits the technology will bring to the hospital’s patients, adding there have been huge advancements in radiation technology since the installation of the hospital’s original linear accelerator 10 years ago.
