Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985, Betty Puskar sought treatment in Houston, Texas. She fought through the disease and was determined to build a breast care treatment facility in Morgantown so that others would not have to leave home to get exceptional care. In 1994, she contributed the initial donation to establish the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. Part of the WVU Cancer Institute, the Center provides comprehensive, all-encompassing breast care for women in West Virginia and the surrounding region.
