Saluki Athletics is partnering with the SIH Foundation for the Salukis Black Out Cancer games, which occur during each Football, Men’s Basketball, and Women’s Basketball season. The SIH Foundation continues to lead fundraising efforts to support the SIH Cancer Institute, which opened in March 2015. The new cancer center is providing quality state-of-the-art care, close to home, for cancer patients, caregivers and their families.

Over 50% of the state of Illinois counties with the highest rates of all cancer deaths are in Southern Illinois and 80% of the top ten counties with the highest all-cancer death rates are in the Southern Illinois region. This means that eight of the top ten counties with the highest cancer death rates are located in our region served by Southern Illinois Healthcare.

Projected trends indicate that incidence rates of all-cancer will increase by a staggering 45% over the next twenty years. This represents a substantial number of patients enduring the hardships of their accessing care away from home and family. As a result, SIH is committed to providing quality cancer care in southern Illinois.

Rarely in our lives do we have such a chance as this to make such a meaningful contribution to our community.
