We will never forget. Please take a moment of silence today to honor and remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. #patriotday
Did you know that 40% the red blood cells and 42% of the platelets in the National Blood Supply go to help inpatient, hematology and oncology patients? That’s why this summer, CCNW hosted a blood drive with our community blood donation center Vitalant - Washington & Idaho. We had a total of 56 employees make a blood donation, which will benefit 168 lives. Donating blood is one of the easiest ways to give back to our community. This simple, lifesaving action has the remarkable power to transform lives. Thank you to all CCNW employees who participated!
We are honored to sponsor the Cancer Can't Auction for another year! As a result of the COVID-19 limitations on social gatherings, the auction has changed to a fully virtual event. Bidding will open on Friday, September 11th and close on Sunday, September 13th. Please be sure to register online at https://cancerca2020.ggo.bid prior to the opening bid. There is no cost to participate!
All event proceeds stay local to benefit Inland Northwest cancer patients and their families. There are a number of CCNW patients that have benefited from the hard work at Cancer Can't, including rides to and from appointments, grant program donations and pro bono healthcare services for our patients in need. To check out what Cancer Can't has lined up for 2020, please visit http://www.cancercant.com/goals.
We hope you will consider participating in the Cancer Can't (virtual) Auction and support a great local cause.

It is projected that 6,690 women in Washington state will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. That’s why CCNW collaborated with Spokane Riverfront Park to light the park up pink in honor of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. We hope this will help to bring awareness of the disease and raise funds for research into the cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. Together we fight. Together for a cure!
Thank you to our physicians who visited the park this week to observe this momentous occasion!

Have you been wondering what we've been up to at the CCNW South Clinic? We are so excited to share that we will now be offering PET/CT imaging services at our South Clinic using the GE Discovery IQ 4-Ring PET/CT scanner, which provides patients with a decreased scan time, decreased isotope and radiation dose, and an ultra high sensitivity imaging experience that can detect cancer in its earliest stages. Previously, our PET/CT imaging services were offered at our Downtown clinic. Relocating this service to our South Clinic is much more convenient for our patients, with free parking and minimal walking distance. Read more at the link below!
