Our Vision to Extend Access to World-Class Cancer Care

Did you know?
Approximately 80% of people seeking cancer treatment in the United States do not have access to a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center like City of Hope.
Cancer impacts millions of people and their families every year. Research shows us that achieving the best
outcomes depends on patients having access to the most advanced prevention, care and treatments available. Yet, too many cancer patients do not get the
level of care they need.
City of Hope’s vision includes building the first truly national health system focused on cancer research and care. Our mission and growth — supported by you — means we are making enormous strides in bringing the latest research and leading treatments to more patients across the country, in their own communities.
Even as we move forward with this exciting future, we’ve never lost sight of the past. City of Hope’s very foundation is built on the care and compassion of committed business leaders and partners like you. Industry support has been a vital part of our history, making us who we are today — and it will be integral to our future.
THANK YOU for your steadfast dedication to the patients and families we serve.
