CMH Foundation
loves Planetree!
CMH’s continuing dedication to providing
the latest in medical technology ensures the
highest level of care for our patients. In 2011,
CMH opened the CMH/OHSU Cancer Care
Center, allowing cancer patients to receive
their chemotherapy locally. In 2013, CMHwill
continue our commitment to enhance the
treatment of cancer by expanding the cancer
clinic and adding additional local treatment
options. This is the CMH Foundation’s Cancer
Care Phase 2 project.
We ask you to partner with us to help
make these expanded cancer services
available. Please donate as generously as
you can to help those a ected by cancer. This
may be you, your loved one or a neighbor.
We have all felt the chill of cancer’s grim
touch. A gift of any size is appreciated.
CMH’s commitment to excellence is
saving lives. Lee Talbot has been receiving
treatment at the CMH/OHSU Cancer Care
Center for cancer caused by exposure
to radiation from nuclear testing during
his career.

cancer from the radiation, and they are all
gone now,“ Talbot says. ”If it weren’t for the
excellent care I’ve gotten through CMH, I’d
be gone too.”
Arlene Graham has also been a patient
at the clinic. She says, “Dr. Raish and the
entire sta are so kind; they make you
feel like you’re their only patient. They
coordinated all my care between the clinic
here and my treatment at OHSU. They took
care of everything.”
The treatment Talbot and Graham
received is repeated thousands of times each
year by the committed and caring medical
professionals and sta at CMH. Please help
us continue to provide world-class health
care locally with your donation of any
amount. With this donation, you will join us
as we continue to serve our community.
