White River Health’s Gary Paxson recently announced the beginning of a $2 million capital campaign benefitting the White River Health Oncology Clinic and Infusion Center. The organization’s president and CEO said a lead gift by First Community Bank kicked off the campaign. Paxson said the plans include adding 5,000 square feet of new construction and renovating the current 2,000 square foot Oncology Clinic and Infusion Center. The project allows patients to receive local cancer care.
In an interview with White River Now’s Chad Whiteaker, Paxson discussed the campaign and Friday’s White River Health Foundation 27th annual Golf Classic at Batesville’s The Course at Eagle Mountain, presented by First Community Bank.

In a release announcing the campaign, WRH said the Infusion Center expansion “addresses the critical need for more treatment space, privacy for patients and families, nutritional support, upgrades to the oncology pharmacy, and nurse workspace. The project also includes a covered entrance to the facility in the event of inclement weather, an expanded waiting room, and healing garden and patio that will provide a beautiful view and healing environment for patients and loved ones during their treatment journey.”
