Finding cures to chronic or life-threatening illnesses doesn’t
happen overnight. It takes years of research and millions of dollars in funding
every year just to get one step closer to finding something that would help people
survive cancer, diabetes and other potentially fatal diseases. There are many
cancer research facilities across the nation, but few of them combine cutting
edge research with optimum patient care.
City of Hope was
established in 1913 by a group of visionary doctors and scientists who were
determined to find a cure for diseases and help those who are most in need of
healing. Through the years, scientists and physicians have been working hand in
hand in order to fulfill City of Hope’s mission to transform the future of
health. Many of medicine’s historical breakthroughs were discovered within the
walls of the City of Hope. Aside from being a premiere research facility, City
of Hope is also a hospital that offers more than the basic care you get from
other hospitals. City of Hope specializes in testing for and treating many
forms of cancer. The hospital also has a great surgical program and offers
clinical trials for qualified patients who are looking for more than your usual
cancer treatments.
City of hope is one of only a few of the National Cancer Institute’s
designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers which set the bar for cancer treatment
facilities and services throughout the country. Patients at the City of Hope
can also be sure that they are getting the latest and most advanced treatment
combined with compassionate care. 100 years after it was first founded, City of
Hope has helped millions of people, not just in the US, but all over the world.
Because of the success of both the research facility and the hospital, City of
Hope has been receiving a big amount of funding from private and public
contributions and other sources to be able to continue their good work.
