HAMPTON, Va. (AP) - Hampton University is getting a federal grant to help buy a high-tech machine needed for its Proton Therapy Institute.
The $565,000 grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Resources and Services Administration will help buy a PET-CT machine. It will serve as an imaging tool to pinpoint disease stages and help decide treatment plans for patients.
The $225 million cancer center is scheduled to open in August. It will serve more than 2,000 patients a year with prostate, breast, lung, pediatric and other cancers. It has received $2.2 million in research grants so far.
