Stronger
together
entegra Health System Foundation
is proud to partner with Gavers
Community Cancer Foundation, which
shares Centegra’s passion for creating a
healthier community. To be sure community
members have access to important
cancer screenings and Patient Express
transportation services, Gavers Community
Cancer Foundation has made a multi-year,
$525,000 investment in Centegra.
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
“We are very excited to make this significant
investment in Centegra’s Cancer Care
Initiative and to continue to encourage
everyone to obtain their age-appropriate
cancer screenings,” says Andy Hartlieb,
vice president of Gavers Community
Cancer Foundation. “Centegra has been
a great partner for us in the fight against
cancer, and I applaud their efforts to
improve the quality and availability of
cancer care in McHenry County. We look
forward to a bright future together.”
A HISTORY OF HELPING
Although this is the largest investment by
Gavers Community Cancer Foundation to
date, it is not the first in this longstanding
partnership. Through the years, Gavers
Community Cancer Foundation has been a
constant champion for Centegra programs
such as low-dose CT lung screenings, the
Get Checked! program, the Centegra STAR
Program® and the Centegra Gavers Breast
Center.
Many thanks to Gavers Community
Cancer Foundation for its confidence in
Centegra Health System and for its generous
investment in cancer prevention and
community health care. Together, Centegra
Health System and the Gavers Community
Cancer Foundation look ahead to a
healthier future for our community.
