“This is a district-wide success and we hope to have a lot of people come together to share in the celebration,” said Christine Ruppenstein, who co-chaired the “Together We Can” campaign that saw more than $650,000 raised in six months to purchase a digital mammography unit.
“It’s state-of-the-art technology that benefits health care at many levels,” she added.
