KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Monday, the Bronson Health Foundation (BHF) announced the public launch of its Cancer Care Campaign.
Since 2019, BHF has been engaging regional donors who have come together to help enhance cancer care services for adult and pediatric patients across the Bronson Healthcare system.
Officials say that during the initial phase of the campaign, BHF received more than $9 million â exceeding its initial fundraising goalâfrom individuals, families, businesses, and foundations.
Now, the foundation says that a community-wide public initiative is underway to support meaningful and equitable programs and services for patients undergoing cancer care at Bronson.

Bronson Cancer Center in downtown Kalamazoo opened its doors and is now providing outpatient treatment for adult patients from across the region.
The five-story, 85,000-square-foot facility with offices and clinical areas for medical oncology, hematology and infusion services took just under two years to build. Planning began in 2018 after it was determined these services, previously located at the West Michigan Cancer Center (WMCC), would transition back to the hospital’s campus in 2021.
As a result, each patient is now able to have their cancer care coordinated within the Bronson Healthcare system along with other medical services they receive there. This enhances communication between providers and patients and allows all visits to be documented in one central electronic health record to ensure the best possible care for each patient.
