## Resource

UW Health just rolled out proton therapy at Eastpark Medical Center — a game-changing, ultra-precise radiation treatment that lets doctors target tumors with pinpoint accuracy while sparing healthy tissue. No more traveling out of state for this advanced care. It’s especially life-changing for kids and patients with tumors near sensitive areas or those who’ve had prior radiation. Jenn Carson, a 42-year-old mom battling a brain tumor, is one of the first to benefit — feeling grateful and hopeful as she wraps up her treatments in just a couple of weeks. Plus, patients can now choose to lie flat or sit up during sessions for added comfort. This local breakthrough means cutting-edge cancer care is finally right here, reducing stress and improving outcomes for everyone in our community.
