Explanation
(This amendment adds $7.0 million from the general fund the second year to increase support for proton therapy treatment at the Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute. The Institute is the largest proton treatment center in the U.S. and the only one with dedicated research space. The facility is projected to serve about 2,000 patients per year. Funds will be used to advance proton therapy methodologies to improve patient outcomes, support research, and implement patient outreach.)
