The Bozeman Health Cancer Center was largely built by the community, for the community to better meet the needs of its patients, their families and the staff who care for them. The community has been providing philanthropic support for local cancer care since 1997, with tremendous response that culminated in 1998 with the establishment of the state-of-the-art Cancer Center at Bozeman Health and a linear accelerator for the provision of local radiation therapy. Since then, there have been several expansions and enhancements, thanks to community support and partnerships.
