(Allegheny County, PA) Allegheny Health Network announced this morning that the company has received a gift of $25 million to assist with cancer care and research. 

The gift was given to Allegheny Health Network by Dow Inc. executive chairman James R. “Jim” Fitterling, who is also a cancer survivor. 

The gift from Fitterling is the largest philanthropic investment in the history of Allegheny Health Network and it will be used to advance cancer research and therapies, as well as improve care for patients battling cancer.  

Multiple aspects of cancer research and care that are throughout Allegheny Health Network include recruiting and retaining researchers and oncologists, enrolling another 10,000 patients in its cancer data and research program, clinical trials, and its ambassador program.   

The AHN Cancer Center, along with its over 35 locations, will also be rebranded as the AHN James R. Fitterling Cancer Center.
