In CAC2’s April pop-up webinar, “Patient Advocacy, Non-Profit Foundations, and the Changing Landscape of Pediatric Cancer Funding,” our special guest, Dr. Kimryn Rathmell, shared compelling insights on the evolving pediatric cancer landscape and the role of advocates.
Dr. Rathmell recently completed her appointment as the 17th Director of the National Cancer Institute and has taken a new role as CEO of the Ohio State James Cancer Hospital and Solve Research Institute. Her presentation drew from a distinguished career of scientific excellence and compassionate leadership that spanned from her acclaimed work in kidney cancer genomics to her vision for the future of patient-centered innovation.
Her talk encouraged CAC2 members and the broader community to embrace a five-point framework:
- Tell Our Story
- Engage with New Communities
- Develop Our Workforce
- Double down on Creativity and Innovation
- Unite on Common Themes to Speak with One Voice
