Typically, the 10-year anniversary is celebrated with something made of tin, but the partnership between Emanuel Medical Center and Stanford Health Care opted to go for something with a bit more heft to it. The Stanford Emanuel Radiation Oncology Center, a joint venture between Stanford Medicine, Stanford Health Care and Emanuel Cancer Center, recently added a second linear accelerator, a multimillion-dollar technology that generates focused doses of therapeutic radiation for patients undergoing cancer treatment. By doubling its capacity, SEROC can now treat more patients and it brings the latest advances in radiotherapy to Turlock.
