The Olympic Medical Center Foundation announced that it has received a $50,000 donation from the First Federal Community Foundation toward the expansion of the Olympic Medical Cancer Center and presented a check to OMC at its Dec. 7 commissioners meeting. Since 2015, the foundation has given over $1.3 million to local nonprofits.

The First Federal donation is part of the $285,000 that OMC has received in cash or pledges toward the project. The number of patient visits at OMCC has grown by 157 percent over the past 10 years and even more growth is expected in the future.

Those interested in more information or in making a donation can contact the OMC Foundation office at 417-7144 or bruce@omhf.org.
