The Novant Health Rowan Medical Center Foundation was able to support the purchase of an upright breast biopsy system because of a generous donation of $95,850 from the Kiser Fund. This state-of-the-art system has benefited 400 women in our area. Dr. and Mrs. Glenn A. Kiser, who funded the project, wanted to invest in the advancement of healthcare within the Salisbury and Rowan County community for many years to come. Although Dr. and Mrs. Kiser have passed away, their gift to our foundation continues to carry out their wishes by helping many women in our community.
The previous breast biopsy equipment required the patient to lie prone on a table with the breast extended through an opening. The upright system allows the patient to be in a seated, more comfortable position. Certain patients, due to breast size, had to leave the community to find a breast center with an upright breast biopsy system. A contribution to our foundation can help us continue to fund projects like the upright breast biopsy system to better serve the needs of individuals in Salisbury and Rowan.
Donate today to help us save lives and improve the health of our communities, one person at a time.
