Explanation
(This amendment provides an increase of $1.0 million each year from the general fund for the Hampton Roads Proton Beam Therapy Institute at Hampton University. The introduced budget added $490,000 each year from the general fund for this project. Together, this will provide $2.0 million each year from the general fund for the Institute to provide high technology cancer therapy for Virginians. The Institute has served more than 1,000 patients to date and recently formed a strategic partnership with the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk to establish a pediatric cancer capability that will serve children in Virginia.)
