National Life Cancer Center at CVMC
The average round-trip commute for cancer patients who required radiation therapy in the Central Vermont area was two hours and eight minutes. This meant that for five days a week, for five to seven weeks, cancer patients and their families faced a daily struggle to juggle work schedules and family needs in order to receive this life-saving treatment.
With opening of the National Life Cancer Treatment Center in 2009, the burden of long trips for treatment was eased for cancer patients, their families, and caregivers living in Washington County and parts of Orange and Lamoille counties. The Center is now serving approximately 93,000 residents in the area, including medically underserved communities, with state-of-the-art technology that delivers cutting-edge radiation therapy treatments.
As the lead donor in the hospital's capital campaign, the Foundation continues the long relationship National Life has had with the hospital. It was in the 1960s that former National Life CEO Deane C. Davis lead the effort to construct the hospital, and the company has been a major contributor to the facility's modernization projects over the years.
