Philanthropy plays a crucial role in advancing our commitments to cancer interception and gives us the opportunity to transform cancer care for generations to come.
The first phase of the Texas Cancer Interception Institute is funded by a transformational commitment from the Jeff and Carmen York Family. Grateful for the treatment and care Jeff has received at Baylor Scott & White, the York Family is committed to paying it forward for those facing a cancer diagnosis, now and in the future.
Their generosity will not only support the construction of the physical Command Center of the Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas but also expand and help sustain the newly renamed Jeff and Carmen York Family Patient Navigation program, offering people essential guidance, resources, mentorship and meaningful connections.
Your donation can help advance this fight—please join us today.
