Hampton University is getting some extra help to fund its Proton Therapy Institute.
The Department of Health and Human Services has awarded the school a $380,000 grant to staff the institute, which is set to open in August. Officials say the grant will help fund the center's 127 staff positions, including nurses, physicists, and x-ray technicians.
The 98,000-square-foot center is expected to treat more than 2,000 patients with prostate, breast, lung and pediatric cancers per year.
