Support a Cancer Patient this Holiday Season

Quality cancer care is needed now more than ever, as an excess of 10,000 deaths is predicted due to Covid-related delayed screenings and treatments. You can be a blessing to cancer patients this holiday season by supporting the MercyOne Richard Deming Cancer Center.

This center will encompass innovative, multi-disciplinary, patient-centered compassionate cancer care for all Iowans in need. The center is named after MercyOne Cancer Center Medical Director Richard L. Deming, who has served at MercyOne for 30 years and is a Des Moines community philanthropist and leader and a national leader in cancer care and research.

Here, those who are hurting will find the care they need.

The MercyOne Richard Deming Cancer Center will use a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, patient-center approach to cancer care, ensuring the patient is always the primary focus. Innovative technology, including the only CyberKnife system in the state of Iowa, telemedicine and expanded clinical trials are only of few of the services all patients will have access to.

Help us expand this healing ministry which treats the entire patient in addition to the disease. Your contribution will impact the future of cancer care for those who are suffering.
