The Prairie Lakes Cancer Center is celebrating 25 years of providing exceptional cancer treatment to residents of Watertown and surrounding areas in 2024. To commemorate the occasion, local business leaders and members of the Watertown Chamber of Commerce were invited into the facility to learn more about the providers, treatments, equipment, and staff that make the Prairie Lakes Cancer Center so special.
Visitors were treated to appetizers and refreshments as they made their way through a self-guided tour of the various treatment areas to get a better understanding of equipment, medication, and procedures used for specific cancer patients to best fight their individual cancer battle. Providers and staff were available to answer questions and demonstrate equipment. 
Dr. Joni Buechler, Radiation Oncologist, gave a passionate speech about the importance of having a facility so close to home for our patients as they are receiving cancer treatment. Dr. Dan Reiffenberger, Chief Medical Officer, also elaborated on how special the Prairie Lakes Cancer Center was when the facility was built in 1999.
Visitors were able to enter a drawing to win a Prairie Lakes ‘Fun in the Sun” Prize Pack and pick up other promotional items. In addition, blankets were ordered specifically for our Prairie Lakes Cancer Center patients to offer warmth and comfort as they receive their treatments.
Visuals used throughout the self-guided tour will be available to view in the Prairie Lakes Main Lobby for the remainder of the week for employees and visitors to enjoy. Next week, they will be moved back into the Prairie Lakes Cancer Center. We encourage Watertown community members to visit the facility and get a better understanding of the work being done and the care being given there.
