On March 29, 2022, the Radiation Therapy facility at 142 Kenyon Avenue reopened under the new ownership of South County Health after months of renovations and technology upgrades.
The acquisition and upgrades are part of South County Health’s strategic plan to make access to high quality healthcare readily available to patients.
Among the improvements South County Health made to the radiation therapy department was the installation of a new, state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator.
This technology upgrade improves the precision of radiation delivery that targets the tumor while minimizing damage to healthy tissue that surrounds the cancerous area.
South County Health is one of only five radiation therapy facilities in Rhode Island, making this form of treatment available to patients in southern Rhode Island.
