Columbus Community Hospital is proud to announce the official name of its new, state-ofthe- art cancer care facility — the Mead Family Cancer Center. Set to break ground this spring with plans to open in fall 2026, the center will bring comprehensive cancer care under one roof, offering advanced treatment; cuttingedge technology; and a personalized, compassionate approach to care.
The naming of the Mead Family Cancer Center marks an important milestone in CCH’s mission to provide high-quality cancer care to the region. The center is named in honor of a generous donation from the Mead family, whose commitment to supporting local health care is transforming the way cancer treatment is delivered in central Nebraska. The Mead family’s contribution is a testament to the family members’ enduring dedication to improving the health and well-being of the Columbus community. “My family has been touched by cancer,” said Bob Mead, “and I’m giving to this center because I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate care and cutting-edge treatments within their community.”
“We are incredibly grateful to the Mead family for their generosity and commitment to enhancing cancer care in our area,” said Keith Luedders, vice president for ancillary services at CCH. “Their support helps make the vision of the Mead Cancer Center a reality, and we are excited to offer our community a comprehensive, convenient and patient-centered cancer care experience.”
