For the past 16 years, Kenmure Fights Cancer and AdventHealth Hendersonville have worked together to support cancer patients in Western North Carolina. This year, the Kenmure community made a record donation of $79,018.18 to AdventHealth, which will be used to buy advanced equipment for the hospital’s new Catheterization Lab. The lab aims to improve cardiac care for cancer patients who experience heart problems related to chemotherapy or their diagnosis.
Kenmure Fights Cancer is a charitable group based in Flat Rock, North Carolina. Its mission is to remember those lost to cancer, honor survivors, and support people currently battling the disease.
Bo Caldwell, Foundation Director at AdventHealth Hendersonville, said: “Our partnership with Kenmure Fights Cancer reflects the heart of our promise to help people feel whole. Together, we are not only addressing the physical needs of our patients but also supporting their emotional and spiritual well-being. This investment is a testament to the power of community and compassion.”
Kenmure Fights Cancer has been active in raising awareness and funds for cancer care in Henderson County. Their efforts help ensure that local patients have access to advanced treatment options and community support.
AdventHealth Hendersonville continues its focus on making healthcare accessible and providing care that supports all aspects of patient well-being. The organization says that partnerships like this one show its commitment to caring for body, mind, and spirit.
AdventHealth Orlando, part of the same health system as AdventHealth Hendersonville, was founded in 1908 in Orlando, Florida. The hospital serves as a training center and has a pediatric ward. Terry Shaw is its current president.
