Radiation center to host fundraiser

The Claude Parrish Radiation Therapy Institute (ParRTI) at North Arkansas Regional Medical Center in Harrison is hosting a Christmas-tree fundraiser through the end of December.

A Christmas-angel ornament will be placed on the tree for each $10 donation. Ornaments will remain on the tree until it’s taken down at the end of the month.

Donations will go to the ParRTI Foundation to help care for residents with cancer. The ParRTI Foundation provides cancer education, resources, transportation and equipment to the radiation center.

Donation forms are available at 620 N. Main St. in Harrison or by calling (870) 414-4244.
