| Proton Therapy
Center in Bloomington Growing Installation and FDA clearance for a second line of proton therapy, and the anticipated readiness of a third, fuels the expectations of an increased number of patients. Proton therapy is used to treat difficult cancerous tumors because the proton beam is more precise than conventional radiation therapy. Proton beams can be stopped at the back edge of the tumor instead of traveling through it and damaging healthy tissues and organs.

Walnut Grove employs five workers along with owners Duane and Leslie Smith. Bass says if the national expansion goes well, the company could add 10 to 15 workers.
