Celebrating Completion of Successful Breast and Cervical Program in Cali, Colombia

Partners for Cancer Care and Prevention is excited to announce the successful completion of our breast and cervical cancers program in Cali, Colombia! This work began as an NGO initiative to improve medical care in Cali. Today we are proud to share that it has evolved into a celebrated model that has been fully institutionalized in the local government infrastructure to sustain the care facilities, staffing, equipment, and expertise necessary to deliver high-quality care. As we celebrate this major milestone and close an exciting chapter, we carry these successes forward and continue our business of bridging the gap in cancer care. We turn our attention to another area of need that is near and dear to so many in our community: serving patients, caregivers, and families facing rare and advanced abdominal cancers.

Story of the Month

My baby boy saved my life - Nicole Ziccardi

"In a patient room at the surgeon’s office, my newborn son and I received devastating news: I had a mucinous neoplasm of the appendix—appendix cancer, a rare disease affecting only about 700-1,000 people in the US annually. Numb with shock, we went home."
