PPI is honored to play a part in supporting this campaign. As an employee-owned company, we are committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. We are grateful for the opportunity to support organizations that make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
Pella Regional Health Center (PRHC) and Knoxville Hospital & Clinics (KHC) proudly recognize and extend the deepest gratitude to Precision Pulley & Idler (PPI) for their generous contribution of $250,000 to the Bridging the Gap Campaign.
Gifts to the Bridging the Gap Campaign will help fund the South Central Iowa Radiation Center and support the partnership between PRHC and KHC to bring radiation therapy closer to home for patients across the region. This gift represents more than financial support – it reflects belief in our mission, confidence in our collaboration, and compassion for the patients and families we serve.
“Being part of the South Central Iowa Radiation Center project is incredibly important to us at PPI. This effort represents more than an investment in healthcare—it’s a commitment to our neighbors, our employee owners and the long-term strength of our community. We’re proud to stand alongside others in making this vision a reality, said Charlie Daugherty, PPI CFO.”
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, reducing the need for travel to distant treatment centers.
The 7,800-square-foot facility will house advanced diagnostic and treatment technology, including:
• A linear accelerator to deliver highly precise radiation treatments.
• A PET/CT scanner which plays a critical role in diagnosing cancer and determining the most effective course of treatment.
“On behalf of Pella Regional Health Center, thank you for your generous contribution to our Bridging the Gap campaign,” said Bob Kroese, PRHC CEO. “PPI’s support is more than a financial investment — it is a vote of confidence in our mission and our future. Because of community partners like you, we are able to build lasting impact for the communities we serve.”
“I am grateful to PPI for their generous support of the Bridging the Gap Campaign. Their investment in the Radiation Center will have a lasting impact on patients and families throughout our region. Because of their generosity, more individuals will have access to advanced cancer care close to home. I am deeply appreciative of PPI’s commitment to our mission and the health and well-being of the communities we serve,” said Kevin Kincaid, CEO of Knoxville Hospital & Clinics.
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 PRHC and KHC.
