“For more than a century, we have been driven by compassion to save lives and have transformed the practice of medicine in the process.”
Robert W. Stone
Chief Executive Officer, Helen and Morgan Chu Chief Executive Officer Distinguished Chair, City of Hope
City of Hope’s defining characteristic for more than 100 years has been a commitment to serving humanity. We express that through our exceptional, compassionate care and by speeding promising new therapies to patients that depend on us.
Our current research speaks to our remarkable progress. To name just a few of our groundbreaking initiatives: Our work with CAR T cell therapy to reprogram the immune system to fight cancer is demonstrating strong results in a novel approach to treating brain cancer. We have launched The Wanek Family Project for Type 1 Diabetes to cure the disease. Our alliance with TGen (Translational Genomics Research Institute) for precision medicine — personalized treatment tailored specifically to a patient’s genetic information — will allow us to convert our research discoveries even more rapidly.
I am grateful to individuals like you, who believe in our mission and support our work. I invite you to visit City of Hope and feel the excitement in the air. Your help accelerates our impact and brings us closer to our shared vision of eliminating cancer and diabetes forever.
