From a doubled infusion center to 3D mammography, the Foundation has invested in the tools that bring world-class cancer care to patients in their own community.
From a doubled infusion center to 3D mammography, the Foundation has invested in the tools that bring world-class cancer care to patients in their own community.
Cancer care is only as good as the technology behind it. Early detection saves lives. Precision treatment reduces harm. Modern facilities make an unbearable process more bearable. The Harold & Carole Pump Foundation has spent over two decades ensuring that patients in the San Fernando Valley have access to the same advanced tools and treatment environments available anywhere in the country.
Through the Foundation’s fundraising, Northridge Hospital’s cancer center has undergone a major renovation and expansion of its Chemotherapy Infusion Center, doubling its capacity from 13 to 20 infusion chairs and adding a private treatment room for higher-acuity patients, additional restrooms, a nutrition room, and redesigned physician offices. The Foundation also funded the acquisition of the Trilogy Linear Accelerator for advanced stereotactic radiation treatment, a 3D mammography system for more precise breast cancer detection, and a bone density machine, among numerous other critical equipment and technology investments.
These aren’t line items on a balance sheet. They are the machines, the rooms, and the systems that give patients a real fighting chance.

The Foundation funded a full renovation and expansion of the Chemotherapy Infusion Center, growing it from 13 to 20 infusion chairs and adding a private treatment room for higher-acuity patients, additional restrooms, a nutrition room, and redesigned physician offices. The goal was to create a more comfortable and functional environment for patients going through chemotherapy.
Hospitals in underserved communities often lack the capital to acquire advanced technology on their own. When the Foundation funds a piece of equipment, it is not a donation in the abstract — it is a machine that starts treating patients the day it arrives, and continues doing so for years.
Cancer patients receiving treatment at Northridge Hospital Medical Center and its affiliated cancer programs, many of whom would otherwise need to travel significant distances to access the same level of care.
The Foundation works in partnership with the hospital and its clinical leadership to identify the highest-priority equipment and facility needs — prioritizing investments that will have the broadest and most lasting impact on patient care.
