“Cancer doesn't care about zip codes — and neither should access to exceptional treatment,” said Dr. Ayla Kessler, Medical Director for Ashe Oncology and Hematology. “Nearly all of us know someone who has faced this disease: a parent, a neighbor, a friend. When that diagnosis comes, patients shouldn't have to travel hours from home during the most challenging moments of their lives.

“The expansion of the Jo Anne Poe Cancer Center will create more patient-centered infusion spaces, improve access to advanced therapies, and ensure families can receive world-class care close to home — surrounded by the people who love them and the community that knows their name,” Dr. Kessler added. “This project is more than a renovation. It's a promise that when our neighbors face their toughest days, they won't face them far from home. Join us on May 30 as we come together to build something extraordinary for the patients and families who need it most. Thank you for showing up — not just for this event, but for each other, every day.”

A cancer diagnosis can be life-changing, but through to the kindness and generosity of our donors, our patients are now able to rest a little more comfortably during their treatments. As part of our end-of-the-year appeal, we requested funding to purchase Alō Recovery Chairs for the Jo Anne Poe Cancer Center and our community responded in a big way, raising $53,600. The new chairs feature a side opening for easy access, heated seats, USB charging ports and are fully reclinable, among other features, for improved patient experience.

Thank you so much to those in our community who have so generously supported the campaign. We truly appreciate your continued support! If you would like to donate to the Alō Recovery Chair Campaign or to the AMH Foundation, please click the link below.

Through the generosity of Ashe County donors, the Women in Touch Fund provides free screening mammograms for uninsured women who reside in Ashe County. Women must be at least 40 years old unless the mammogram is ruled medically necessary. Diagnostic mammograms may also be covered by the Women in Touch Fund on a case-by-case basis.

“The Women in Touch Fund plays a crucial role in the community by helping to cover the cost of mammograms and other diagnostic tests for uninsured and underinsured women, ensuring no one is left behind due to financial hardship,” said Dr. Ayla Kessler, Medical Director for Ashe Oncology and Hematology. “As we spread the word about breast cancer awareness, we want to remind every woman in our community that a simple, quick mammogram could save her life. The support of the Women in Touch Fund makes this possible for many who might otherwise go without. Our community's health is our top priority, and we encourage everyone to join our cause, whether through volunteering or a donation."
