The Columbia-Greene Hospital Foundation announced June 4, it raised nearly $600,000 to support Columbia Memorial Health. The event featured a special auction that raised $180,000 to support CMH's purchase of 3D biopsy technology, according to a press release. The acquisition is expected to increase the organization's 3D mammography capacity, which was made possible by donations received in 2018. Foundation board chair Patti Matheney said, “The combination of 3D mammography and 3D biopsy will mean that breast cancers can be detected earlier and treated far less invasively than ever before. We are enormously grateful to our donors for their gift of life and hope for breast cancer patients.” Nearly 400 business and community leaders, public officials, CMH staff and CMH supporters attended the ball at Historic Catskill Point. Longtime supporters and CMH Trustees, Mary Gail Biebel and V. Richard Back, were honored. Read the full press release at Columbia Memorial Health [dot] org.
