Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center has received a $350,000 gift in support of its Cancer Healing Center, which is supposed to open at the end of this year.
The center is a $1 million project, and the $350,000 gift was given by the Tod and Maxine McClaskey Foundation. The reception area at the cancer center will recognize the late Tod and Maxine McClaskey, according to a Legacy press release.
Tod McClaskey co-founded the Red Lion Inn hotel chain, which opened in Vancouver in 1959. He died in 2003. Maxine McClaskey died in 2005.
The cancer center will include genetic counseling, comprehensive screenings and a holistic therapy room, according to the press release.
“My grandparents would have been so pleased to be involved with the cancer center,” Jillian McClaskey Hagstrom, who sits on the foundation board, said in the press release. “We’re proud to support the dedicated staff at Legacy Salmon Creek.”
