“This investment is about far more than a new vehicle,” said UNC Health Southeastern President and CEO Chris Ellington. “It reflects our commitment to ensuring patients can reach the right level of care as quickly and safely as possible.

We are deeply grateful to the Foundation and the donors whose generosity made this possible. Now that the ambulance has arrived, our team will begin preparing and equipping it for service so it can begin supporting patients and families across our region.”

Radiation therapy is an evidence-based treatment that can reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis if you have tried physical therapy, splinting, topical anesthetic gels, and you have either tried corticosteroid injections or you want to avoid the invasive procedures that come along with corticosteroid injections.

Gibson Cancer Center, part of UNC Health Southeastern, is now offering Low Dose Radiation Therapy as a non-surgical treatment option for patients suffering from painful osteoarthritis, particularly in the hands, hips, and knees.
