Baja California's First Lady Visits Scripps Proton Therapy Center


San Diego, Calif.- The first lady of Baja California, Brenda Ruacho de Vega, recently toured the Scripps Proton Therapy Center to learn about cancer care provided at the state-of-the-art radiation treatment facility, which opened last year in San Diego. Scripps has an affiliation agreement with Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego to provide pediatric care at the center. Pictured with the first lady from Scripps Health, from left to right: Andrew L. Chang, M.D., medical director of pediatrics at the Scripps Proton Therapy Center and Fernando Peñúñuri, M.D., director of the General Hospital in Tijuana. The first lady also serves as president of the Baja California’s Integral Family Development (DIF) organization and has been instrumental in the development of the Children’s General Rehabilitation Center (CRIT) in the state. She is the wife of Baja California Governor Francisco Vega de Lamadrid. Proton therapy is an extremely precise form of radiation treatment that spares more healthy tissue surrounding a patient’s tumor than conventional X-ray therapy.
