NORFOLK -- A northeast Nebraska cancer treatment center is sporting a remodeled look thanks to an area company.

Officials with Nucor cut the ribbon for the new-look Carson Cancer Center lobby and medical oncology treatment area on Thursday.

Improvements were made possible by Nucor's donation of funds from its annual charity golf tournament. The space now boasts 12 recliners with heat and charging stations, two bed suites, new flooring, paint, blinds and coffee bars for patients.

“The Carson Cancer Center is an important part of the Norfolk community," Nucor Corporation Chairman and CEO John Ferriola said. "It makes a huge difference in patients’ lives to be able to get the care they need locally instead of having to travel long distances for treatment. Nucor is proud that we played a role in making these improvements possible.”

“The updated space and equipment to aid in the treatment of cancer patients locally means that much more knowing it was made possible by a community pillar like Nucor,” Faith Regional Health Services President and CEO Kelly Driscoll said. “It’s an honor to have the opportunity to show them the impact their generosity and support have made.”

The Carson Cancer Center is part of Faith Regional Health Services in Norfolk.
