Pella Regional Health Center and Knoxville Hospital & Clinics recognized Rich and Mary Glendening Thursday for their contribution of $100,000 to the Bridging the Gap Campaign.

Gifts to the campaign are helping fund the South Central Iowa Radiation Center and support the partnership between Pella Regional Health Center and Knoxville Hospital & Clinics to bring radiation therapy closer to home for patients across the region. The state-of-the-art radiation oncology center is expected to be completed in early 2027 and will significantly improve access to cancer care for residents of Marion County and surrounding communities.

The South Central Iowa Radiation Center is projected to cost $14.3 million, with the majority of funding to be raised through the Bridging the Gap Campaign, led by the hospital foundations of Pella Regional Health Center and Knoxville Hospital & Clinics.
